No.3 　マリア　Maria

Lyrics: Stephen Sondheim

Composer: Leonard Bernstein

“West Side Story” 1957

Feelings for the song

I watched the musical stage in February 1996

However that didn’t really impress me

Maybe because the impression of the movie is too strong.

The reason why I wanted to sing this song was

Maria I heard in the West Side Story medley by

Michael Crawford

On the album Stage and Screen

A unique singing beginning that begins to moan

Call Maria’s name to scream on the way

Somewhere like a phantom

His voice fits this song

To catch up with him,

 I tried to shout Maria’s name.

A song that makes you feel like Michael Crawford

Lyrics

The most beautiful sound I ever heard
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word
Maria
I just met a girl named Maria
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same to me
Maria
I just kissed a girl named Maria
And suddenly I found
How wonderful a sound can be
Maria
Say it loud and there’s music playing
Say it soft and it’s almost like praying
Maria
I’ll never stop saying
Maria
Maria, Maria…
Maria
Say it loud and there’s music playing
Say it soft and it’s almost like praying
Maria
I’ll never stop saying
Maria
The most beautiful sound I ever heard
Maria
