Lyrics and translation Eddy Christiani - Maria van Bahia




Maria van Bahia
Maria from Bahia
Maria van Bahia
Maria from Bahia
Refrain:
Chorus:
Ay ay ay Maria
Ay ay ay Maria
Maria van Bahia
Maria from Bahia
Alle jonge harten kloppen sneller voor Maria
All the young hearts beat faster for Maria
Zij lachte tegen iedereen
She smiled at everyone
Maar ieder dacht meteen
But everyone thought right away
Dat het was voor hem alleen
That it was just for him
Ay ay ay Maria
Ay ay ay Maria
Maria van Bahia
Maria from Bahia
Wie leidde het bal
Who led the ball
Met carnaval, dat was Maria
With carnival, it was Maria
En elke man raakte van streek
And every man was upset
Werd rood en daarna bleek
Turned red and then pale
Als hij naar haar dansen keek
When he watched her dance
De tambourijnen klonken luid
The tambourines sounded loud
En iedere man dacht aan Maria als zijn bruid
And every man thought of Maria as his bride
Refrain
Chorus
De mannen vochten om die mooie vrouw
The men fought over that beautiful woman
En ieder riep: ik hou van jou
And everyone shouted: I love you
Toen iedere man zijn toekomstplan al had gebouwd
When every man had already built his plan for the future
Zich als Maria's eega had beschouwd
He had considered himself Maria's husband
Toen was Maria stilletjes getrouwd
Then Maria was quietly married
Refrain
Chorus
