I was surprised to see that no one took this the same way that I did, but I believe this song is about Nature itself, 'Maria' being the name given to it; sort of like mother nature and what she has endured.
Seriously, relisten to this song with that thought in mind, and tell me your opinions on that. From the very first time I actually listened to the lyrics of this song I felt this was the meaning, and was pretty surprised to find people taking Maria to be a literal person.
