Top 20 Songs about Maria

All of these songs are about characters named Maria. These are not songs about the same individual, but songs about many different types of women, who just happen to share the same name. This is my tribute to the different faces of Maria.

01. Blondie – Maria

Oooh don't you wanna' take her? / Wanna' make her all your own? / Maria / You've gotta see her / Go insane and out of your mind / Regina / Ave Maria / A million and one candle lights

02. The Sound of Music – How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?

When I'm with her I'm confused / Out of focus and bemused / And I never know exactly where I am / Unpredictable as weather / She's as flighty as a feather / She's a darling! / She's a demon! / She's a lamb! / She'd outpester any pest / Drive a hornet from its nest / She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl / She is gentle! She is wild! / She's a riddle! She's a child! / She's a headache! / She's an angel! / She's a girl! / How do you solve a problem like Maria?

07. Mago de Oz – Cantar de la Luna Oscura

Apuestos galanes la cortejan / y aquellos que la han conseguido / con el paso del tiempo la dejan / y ella llorando escoge el olvido. / Es la inocencia perdida. / Es la vejez negada. / Y unas lágrimas perdidas / María vive desesperada.

08. Counting Crows – Round Here

Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand / She said she’d like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis / She walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land /Just like she’s walking on a wire in the circus / She parks her car outside of my house / Takes her clothes off
Says she’s close to understanding Jesus / She knows she’s more than just a little misunderstood / She has trouble acting normal when she’s nervous

19. Luis Enrique Mejia – Pobre la María

Allá se escucha, al fin del día una plegaria / Ave Maria /
Allá se escucha, al fin del día una plegaria / Ave Maria / Ave Maria /
Aunque no tenga capilla, reza la gente sencilla / Ave Maria

01. Don McLean – American Pie

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage / My hands were clenched in fists of rage.

04. Pink Floyd – When the Tigers Broke Free

It was just before dawn / one miserable morning in black ’44 / when the forward commander was told to sit tight / when he asked that his men be withdrawn / and the generals gave thanks / as the other ranks held back the enemy tanks for a while / the Anzio bridgehead was held for the price / of a few hundred ordinary lives…

One after one / by the star dogged moon / Too quick for groan or sigh / Each turned his face with a ghastly pang / And cursed me with his eye / Four times fifty living men / (and I heard nor sigh nor groan) / With heavy thump, a lifeless lump / They dropped down one by one.

A bottle of white, a bottle of red / Perhaps a bottle of rosé instead / We'll get a table near the street / In our old familiar place / You and I - face to face hmmm / A bottle of red, a bottle of white / It all depends upon your appetite / I'll meet you any time you want in our Italian Restaurant.

13. Mago de Oz – Fiesta Pagana
