They call the wind maria


(Alan J. Lerner/Frederick Loewe)

Away out here they've got a name for rain and wind and fire. The rain is Tess, the fire's Joe. They call the wind Maria.
Maria blows the stars around and sets the clouds a-flyin'. Maria makes the mountains sound like folks was out there dyin'.
Maria. (Maria). Maria. (Maria). They call the wind Maria.

Before I knew Maria's name and heard her wail and whinin', I had a gal. She had me and the sun was always shinin'.
But then one day I left my gal. I left her far behind me and now I'm lost, so gol' darn lost not even God can find me.
Maria. (Maria.) Maria. (Maria.) They call the wind Maria.

Out here they have a name for rain and wind and fire only. When you're lost and all alone, there ain't no name for lonely.
And I'm a lost and lonely man without a star to guide me. Maria blow my love to me. I need my gal beside me.
Maria. (Maria.) They call the wind Maria. Maria! Maria. (Maria.) They call the wind Maria.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Kingston Trio is an American musical group formed in 1957 in San Francisco, California. Composed of Dave Guard (vocals and guitar), Bob Shane (vocals and banjo), and Nick Reynolds (vocals and guitar), the trio made a significant contribution to the folk revival of the 1950s and 1960s. Their musical style was characterized by sophisticated harmonic arrangements, a mix of traditional American folk songs and original compositions, often with ironic or satirical lyrics. The Kingston Trio's success was enormous: they sold millions of records, had numerous chart hits, including "Tom Dooley", "M-T-M" and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", and were guests on popular television shows like "The Ed Sullivan Show". Their impact on the American music scene was significant, helping to spread folk music to a wider audience. After several lineup changes over the years, the group disbanded in 1967. Bob Shane continued to perform with a new formation of the Kingston Trio until his death in 2020.
