Maria [English translation]

Eh Maria, Maria, Maria eh, Maria

Maria eh, Maria, Maria eh, Maria

I heard the news like a blessing from the Lord,

But I don’t know whether to laugh or cry about it

Before my attack of nerves, I thought:

I’m no longer alone now

The first thing I thought

Was what name to choose

Think as I might,

Nothing came.

Eh Maria, Maria, Maria eh, Maria

Maria eh, Maria, Maria eh, Maria

Maria’s a first name I like:

My name’s Maria, my mother’s called Maria,

Only Marias

Maria on earth, Maria in heaven

Maria’s a first name I like:

My mother’s called Maria, my name's Maria,

Only Marias

Maria on earth, Maria in heaven

Eh Maria, Maria, Maria eh, Maria

Maria eh, Maria, Maria eh, Maria

But in the end, I chose Maria

Because me and my grandmother are called Maria

Only Marias

On earth as in heaven.

Oh, Maria, my grandmother, my mother, my aunt,

My sister, me and my daughter:

We’re all Marias.
