I love you deeply, dear Maria.
|
I like to say your lovely name aloud.
|
So many girls are also called Maria,
|
we have to share our passion with a crowd.
|
|
Sometimes you are a blonde Maria.
|
But often you are brown or else brunette.
|
Sometimes I get confused with which Maria
|
has willingly been trapped inside my net.
