Bernstein: West Side Story - 5. Maria

V. Maria - José Carreras/Orchestra/Leonard Bernstein

Maria

The most beautiful sound

I ever heard

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

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
