Letra del Vals Señorita María

Señorita María,
necesité más años
de los que yo querría
para entender la vida;
que mano, risa y llanto
son palabras amigas,
igual que su ternura,
señorita María.

Señorita María
le confieso de lejos,
yo era el que ponía
papeles en la tinta.
Y yo siempre la quise
y la sigo queriendo,
la quiero todavía
y la sigo queriendo,
señorita María.

Y los chicos que crecen,
van todos a la escuela
y nacen al asombro
descubriendo maestras
de mano, risa y llanto
que se llaman María.
Y tan simples, tan puras,
tan de todos… Tan mía.

English lyrics of the Vals "Señorita María "

Miss Maria,
I needed more years
than I would have liked
to understand life;
where hand, laughter and tears
are friendly words,
just like your tenderness,
Miss Maria.

Miss Maria,
I confess from afar,
I was the one who put
papers in the ink.
And I always loved you
and continue to do so,
I still love you
and keep loving you,
Miss Maria.

And the children who grow,
all go to school
and are born into wonder
discovering teachers
of hand, laughter, and tears
named Maria.
And so simple, so pure,
so universal… So mine.
