Maria in Motion Songtext
von Son Ambulance

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?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh
Would you still be cloaked in fog?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh

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 the clothes and her schooling and cares for her
And will she take care of me when she herself is strong, oh


I am with child, my skin's turned pale
So I am begging you, please just
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
Mira al cielo, mi amor, un ave inmovil
Mira al cielo, mi amor, un ave inmovil

Maria, Maria, Maria, oh, she's just a child
Who asked me to make her a woman
But I am not the one who pays for the 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
