[English]

I've had love, but his is the deepest, yeah

Says he'll never leave, he means it too, yeah

Ooh, I owe it to you

He was cold, and now he's the sweetest, yeah

'Cause he knows how much there is to lose, yeah

Ooh, I owe it to you

Ooh, I owe it to you

Ooh, I owe it to you

Maria, I know you're gone

But I feel ya when we're alone

Even when I'm here in his arms

I know you're somewhere in his heart

Maria

...

Maria

I know you're somewhere in his heart

When love comes young, you take it for granted, yeah

Now he knows, certain things you can't undo, no

Ooh, I owe it to you

Deepest effect always comes from a cause

I'm better too from the ones that I've lost

Now he is everythin' I'd ever want

I wanna thank you for all that you've done

Oh, Maria, I know you're gone

But I feel ya when we're alone

Even when I'm here in his arms

I know you're somewhere in his heart

Maria

...

Maria

I know you're somewhere in his heart

Never thought I could feel this way

Grateful for all the love you gave

Here's to the lovers that make you change

Maria, Maria, Maria

Maria, I know you're gone

But I feel ya when we're alone

Even when I'm here in his arms

I know you're somewhere in his heart

Oh, Maria, I look in his eyes

And I see ya, time after time

Even when I'm here in his arms

I know you're somewhere in his heart
