María, María

Ae aea ae, aea ae, aea eeh
Pa, pa, pa, papa
Ae aea ae, aea ae, aea eeh
Pa, pa, pa, papa

Maria, Maria, is a gift, is the dream
The pain and a force that encourages us
A woman who deserves to live and love
Like any other woman on the planet

Maria, Maria, is the Sun, is warmth, is sweat
And a tear that flows slowly
From a people who laugh when they should cry
And barely live, just endure

But strength is needed
The race is needed
The desire is always needed
Inside the body and the marks
Maria, Maria, confuses pain and joy
But skill is needed
Grace is needed
Dreams are always needed
Inside the skin and those marks
She has the strange habit of believing in life

Ae aea ae, aea ae, aea eeh

A woman who deserves to live
And love like any other woman on the planet
Ae aea ae, aea ae, aea eeh
From a people who laugh when they should cry
And barely live, just endure

Ae aea ae, aea ae, aea eeh

Pa, pa, pa, papa
