Maria Na Spedju [English translation]

Maria

Where are my flowered dresses?

Where are my rag dolls?

Ah, Maria

Maria

Where are my braids full of ribbons?

My princes who’ve all turned into toads

Ah, Maria

Maria

Virgin at ten and still Maria

At fifteen I’m Magdalene

Oh, oh oh, Maria

Who handed this sentence down to me?

Maria

Even if my son were Jesus

I’d say “Boy, you are my cross”

Oh, oh oh, Maria

Who’s going to pardon my sins?

Maria

If someone talks to me about being naïve

They’re confusing the future with the present

Oh, oh Maria

Maria

I’m a girl in the flower of my youth

I look back and I look ahead

Oh, oh, Maria

Maria

When I look at my kid

I see myself in the mirror

Oh, oh oh, Maria

Who handed this sentence down to me?

Maria

Each person is born with a destiny

They took away my innocence before I got old

Oh, oh oh, Maria

Who’ll forgive my sins?

Maria

You shout Jesus before you fall

I had to trip twice for mine to come

Ah Maria

Maria

Don’t anybody throw stones at me

My humanity is already in the cradle

Ah, Maria
