María. West side story

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!
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!
The most beautiful sound I ever heard. Maria.
