Oh Maria, oh Maria,
You are a brand-new book!
Oh Maria, oh Maria,
I am the poet who turns your pages!
Youth is leaping with energy,
And seeking solitude!
Gathering it all is true skill,
And everything feels so new!
Desire comes in a hundred ways,
Life has a hundred tastes, come!
Until we say, "Enough, enough,"
Come, as sweet intoxication rushes in, come...
Aaaa... aa.. aa...
Oh Maria, oh Maria,
You are a brand-new book!
Oh Maria, oh Maria,
I am the poet who turns your pages!
...
Am I really myself?
Or am I someone else?
Did I slowly change?
O peacock feather, peacock feather,
You stroke me so gently!
Like a rain-washed moon,
Like a rain-washed moon,
You stroll across my eyes!
Leaning against
One another,
We can sway like a boat, we can sway!
One telling a tale,
The other listening,
We can sing a hundred songs, we can sing!
Come before me,
Come, my love!
Like blossoming flowers,
Let us bloom, come...
Oh Maria, oh Maria,
You are a brand-new book!
Oh Maria, oh Maria,
I am the poet who turns your pages!
I am the poet... I am the poet...
Jinga jinga jinganga
Jinga jinga jinganga
Jinga jinga jinganga
Jinga jinga jinganga
Jinga jinga jinga...
Jinga jinga jinganga.. ahan!
Jinga jinga jinganga.. ahan...
Jinga jinga jinganga.. ahan..
Jinga jinga jinganga.. ahan!
In the mango grove,
I was standing,
And he said
He wanted a mango!
Even when I gave him one,
He didn't take it;
He said he wanted
This cheek of mine!
Is it wisdom, or even more wisdom?
What is this drama of sly hints?
What is that look trying to say?
Is it wisdom, pure wisdom?...
Right into your ears,
I will sing!
Right to your heart,
I will speak!
With your eyes,
I will play!
Right on your lap,
I will close my eyes!
Oh Maria, oh Maria,
You are a brand-new book!
Oh Maria, oh Maria,
You are a brand-new book!
Oh Maria, oh Maria,
I am the poet who turns your pages!
Youth is leaping with energy,
And seeking solitude!
Gathering it all is true skill,
And everything feels so new!
Desire comes in a hundred ways,
Life has a hundred tastes, come!
Female: Come...
Until we say, "Enough, enough,"
Come, as sweet intoxication rushes in, come...
Aaaa... aa.. aa...
Oh Maria!

Through a playful blend of nostalgic lyrical references, youthful exuberance, and romantic longing, the song captures the heady intoxication of love, sensual charm, and joyful togetherness.
