[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
Maria!
I just met a girl named Maria
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To me

[Verse 2]
Maria!
I just kissed a girl named Maria
And suddenly I've found
How wonderful a sound
Can be

[Chorus]
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!
[Bridge]
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria

[Chorus]
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!

[Piano Solo]

[Chorus]
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!

[Outro]
The most beautiful sound I ever heard—
Maria
