The most beautiful sound I ever heard 
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria 
All the beautiful words of the world in a single word
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
