Maria (from West Side Story)-Venezuelan Brass Ensemble

[00:01.28]Sound of Music-MARIA [00:05.36]She climbs a tree [00:06.72]And scrapes her knee [00:08.06]Her dress has got a tear. [00:10.36]She waltzes on her way to mass [00:12.77]And whistles on the stair. [00:15.11]And underneath her wimpole [00:17.23]She has curlers in her hair! [00:20.04]I even herad her singing in the abbey. [00:24.63]She's always late for chapel, [00:26.98]But her penitence is real. [00:29.68]She's always late for everything, [00:32.12]Except for every meal. [00:34.48]I hate to have to say it, [00:36.76]But I very firmly feel [00:39.47]Maria's not an asset to the abbey! [00:44.39]I'd like to say a word in her behalf. [00:49.55]Maria makes me laugh! [00:56.35]How do you solve a problem like Maria? [01:00.20]How do you catch a cloud and bring it down? [01:04.43]How do you find a word that means Maria? [01:08.45]A flibberti gibbet! [01:09.47]A willo' the wisp! [01:10.37]A clown! [01:12.70]Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her, [01:16.57]Many a thing she ought to understand. [01:20.56]But how do you make her stay [01:22.53]And listen to all you say, [01:24.73]How do you keep a wave upon the sand? [01:28.87]Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria? [01:33.50]How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand? [01:45.72]When I'm dazed and confused, [01:47.37]Out of focus and bemused, [01:49.10]And I never know exactly where I am. [01:52.99]Unpredictable as weather, [01:54.67]She's as flighty as a feather, [01:56.58]She's a darling, [01:57.55]She's a demon, [01:58.60]She's a lamb. [02:00.70]She'd out-pester any pest, [02:02.40]Drive a hornet from his nest, [02:04.12]She could throw a whirling dervish Out of whirl. [02:08.05]She is gentle, [02:08.95]She is wild, [02:09.98]She's a riddle. [02:10.83]She's a child. [02:11.92]She's a headache! [02:13.31]She's an angel! [02:15.49]She's a girl. [02:19.94]How do you solve a problem like Maria? [02:23.69]How do you catch a clown and pin it down? [02:27.58]How do you find a word that means Maria? [02:31.60]A flibberti gibbet! [02:32.52]A willo' the wisp! [02:33.65]A clown! [02:35.74]Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her, [02:39.82]Many a thing she ought to understand. [02:44.30]But how do you make her say, [02:45.87]And listen to all you say? [02:48.04]How do you keep a wave upon the sand? [02:51.69]Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria? [03:00.44]How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
