Maria, I've just met a girl named Maria
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same to me.

Maria, I've just kissed a girl named Maria
And suddenly I found
How wonderful a sound can be, Maria.

Say it loud and there's music playing
Say it soft and it's almost like praying.

Maria, I'll never stop saying, Maria
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
Maria, Maria, Maria.

Say it loud and there's music playing
Say it soft and it's almost like praying.

Maria, I'll never stop saying, Maria
The most beautiful sound I've ever heard
Maria.
