MARIA
Maria.
The most beautiful sound I ever heard.
Maria.
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Maria!
I´ve just met a girl named Maria,
And suddenly that name will never be the same to me.
Maria.
I´ve kissed a girl named Maria.
And suddenly I´ve 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!
The most beautiful sound I ever heard.
Maria. |
