- They Call The Wind Maria Lyrics / with translationsWay out west, they got a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire’s joe and
They call the wind Marīa
O no, Marīa blows the stars around
And sends the clouds a-flying
Marīa makes the mountain sounds
Like folks were up there dying
Marīa, They call the wind Marīa
Now before I knew Marīa's name
And heard her wail and whining
I had a girl and she had me
And the sun was always shining
O, but then one day I left my girl
I left her far behind me
And now I’m lost, I’m oh so lost
Not even God can find me
Marīa, O, Marīa, They call the wind Marīa
I hear they got a name for rain
and wind and fire only
but when you’re lost and all alone
there ain’t no words but lonely
And I’m a lost and lonely man
Without a star to guide me
Marīa, blow your love to me
I need my girl beside me
He, Marīa, O, Marīa
I’m lonely can’t you see
Marīa, O, Marīa
Please blow my love to me
Marīa, blow my love to me
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire’s joe and
They call the wind Marīa
O no, Marīa blows the stars around
And sends the clouds a-flying
Marīa makes the mountain sounds
Like folks were up there dying
Marīa, They call the wind Marīa
Now before I knew Marīa's name
And heard her wail and whining
I had a girl and she had me
And the sun was always shining
O, but then one day I left my girl
I left her far behind me
And now I’m lost, I’m oh so lost
Marīa, O, Marīa, They call the wind Marīa
I hear they got a name for rain
and wind and fire only
but when you’re lost and all alone
there ain’t no words but lonely
And I’m a lost and lonely man
Without a star to guide me
Marīa, blow your love to me
I need my girl beside me
He, Marīa, O, Marīa
I’m lonely can’t you see
Marīa, O, Marīa
Please blow my love to me
Marīa, blow my love to me
