Hey 怎么抱谨的笑声
Hey, why hug the gentle laughter?
故意礼貌的放轻
Deliberately showing politeness, you soften your tone.
仿佛说明不知道怎反应
As if to say you don't know how to react.
常害怕忘形
Always afraid of losing composure.
Hey 怎么忧郁的眼睛
Hey, why those melancholic eyes?
看似半睡或半醒
Looking either half asleep or half awake.
仿佛你仍不敢看
As if you still dare not look.
不敢给我和应
Dare not to respond to me.
时常在哭泣的窗看你没反应
Often watching you through the crying window, no response in sight.
徒然用指尖写这姓名
Pointlessly writing this name with my fingertips.
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
但你的名字却不可以望清
But your name remains a mystery
Hey 怎么身边的布景
Hey, why does the scenery around me
永远似未看得清
Always seem so unclear?
即使照明焦点里
Even under the spotlight's glow,
都只见全是你造型
All I see is your silhouette.
Hey 怎么清晰的背影
Hey, why does that clear outline,
每个角落也倒映
Reflect in every corner?
仿佛化成一幅镜
As if it turns into a mirror,
心境跟你合并
My heart merges with yours.
时常在哭泣的窗看你没反应
Often I cry by the window, seeing you unresponsive
徒然用指尖写这姓名
Pointlessly I write your name with my fingertips
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
但你的名字却不可以望清
But your name cannot be seen clearly
Hey 怎么身边的布景
Hey, why does the scenery around me
永远似未看得清
Always seem so unclear?
即使照明焦点里
Even under the spotlight
都只见全是你造型
All I see is your silhouette
Hey 怎么清晰的背影
Hey, why is your clear figure
每个角落也倒映
Reflected in every corner?
仿佛化成一幅镜
As if turning into a reflective image
心境跟你合并
My heart and soul merge with yours
