Mayn Mirl,
Bakent hob ikh zikh mit mayn mirl
Ir nomen, vi gezang

Translation
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've 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!
