Maria Mari' [English translation]

Open yourself window!

Let me look at Maria,

'cause I'm in the middle of the road

yearning to see her.

I can't find a moment of peace!

The night becomes day,

I'm always here waiting,

hoping she'd talk to me.

[Chorus:]

Oh Maria, oh Maria,

how much sleep have I lost for you!

Let me sleep

a bit in your arms.

Oh Mary, oh Mary,

how much sleep have I lost for you!

Let me sleep

Oh Mary, oh Mary!

Amid this shrubbery,

smiles the hollyhock.

A bed of rose petals

I made for you.

Come 'cause the night is sweet,

the sky's a cloak.

You'll sleep and I'll be singing

a lullaby by your side.

(chorus)

It looks that it's opening already

a crack in the dear window.

Maria with her dear hand,

is making me a sign.

Play guitar of mine,

Maria woke up.

Let's do a beautiful serenade

for her to listen.

(chorus)
