Maria in Motion Lyrics

	


Maria, Maria, Maria you look so fine to me; 
your skin is brown like caramel all sprawled out in the moonlight.  
You lie like a lavender twilight, would you still be cloaked in fog?
She used to kneel in bed to hold me like a marionette, but you're not a mother you're a dancer with no strings attached.  
Maria, Maria, Maria she's just a child, who asked me to make her a woman; but I am not the one who pays for her clothes and her schooling and cares for her.  And will she take care of me when she herself is strong.
<i>"I am with child, my skin's turned pale, so I am begging you, please just..."</i>
I will honor your request, never travel to Mexico and see silver objects there under a pale moon.  But from that sterile palette, will I know how to love her?
I am in love with learning the knowledge that I am safe, so I will teach you something called inmovil.  Look up in the sky, my love, a stationary bird, so still.   So still, I need to describe you with pictures inmovil. <i>Mira al cielo, mi amor, un ave inmovil.</i>
Maria, Maria, Maria she's just a child, who asked me to make her a woman; but I am not the one who pays for her clothes and her schooling and cares for her.  And will she take care of me when she herself is strong.
I see you in your window sometimes, watching the swirling clouds.  I am on a lazy river, where it never ends.  And I think I may write you sometime, via internet.  No matter what the hackers find they can't change what I have sent.

I love the way they took the simple spanish riff and made it so beautiful with words.

i love this song, especially when he sings in spanish (though he could work on trilling his r's). easily the best part is the "look up at the sky, my love. a stationary bird" and its spanish counterpart.
