   I?ve just met a girl named Maria!
   And suddenly that name will never be the same to me . . .

   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 playin?,
   Say it soft and it?s almost like prayin?,
   Maria!
   I?ll never stop sayin? Maria!
