VII - WHAT'S THE STORY West side story "María"

WEST SIDE STORY “MARIA”

(spoken)
María . . .
(sings)
The most beautiful sound I ever heard:
María, María, María, María. . .
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word . .
María, María, María, María. . .
María!
I've just met a girl named María,
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To me.
María!
I've just kissed a girl named María,
And suddenly I've found
How wonderful a sound
Can be!
María!
Say it loud and there's music playing,
Say it soft and it's almost like praying.

María,
I'll never stop saying María!

The most beautiful sound I ever heard.
María.
