Lyrics

Lyrics

The most beautiful sound I ever heard

Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria...

All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word

Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria...

Maria, Maria...

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'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!

Maria! 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 ever heard

Maria
