You sounded so excited, just like this song is supposed to be sung. Amazing.

[@rainy3609]

The most beautiful sound I ever heard Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria Maria! I've just met a girl named Maria, And suddenly that name Will never be the same to me Maria! I've 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, Maria, Maria, 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!

[@MissGamerBeauty]

As a Puerto Rican woman called Maria (who dislikes West Side Story because it felt like a parody of Puerto Ricans, and especially hates this song because I’ve had too many white men try to sing it to me for my liking) I suddenly am in love with this song because of how beautifully you sang it.
