María

And in the end, I caught a cold
And my whole body aches
I cough, I sneeze, and I have a fever
And there's no one to take care of me

Maria, I'm writing you these lines
So you know I'm doing okay
Everything's tough in Madrid
Impossible if you're not here

And to top it off, it's raining outside
Fate played me dirty

Maria, oh oh oh oh oh ooh
What can I do in this city?
Maria, oh oh oh oh oh ooh
Everything's going wrong for me
Maria, oh oh oh oh oh ooh
What can I do in this city?
Maria, oh oh oh oh oh ooh
Everything's going wrong for me

On top of that, the tax man’s after me
And my bank account's empty
I think escaping to the Caribbean
Will be the best way out

It doesn't matter if it's day or night
There's a traffic jam on every corner
I'm done with driving
What the hell? This isn't living

And to add to all my troubles
Today I turn another year older

Maria, oh oh oh oh oh ooh
What can I do in this city?
Maria, oh oh oh oh oh ooh
Everything's going wrong for me
Maria, oh oh oh oh oh ooh
What can I do in this city?
Maria, oh oh oh oh oh ooh
Everything's going wrong for me

Someone who believes in the stars
Told me they were favorable
They must have mixed up the date
Because today hasn't been a great day

Finally, I'm saying goodbye to you
Just one very, very wise piece of advice
Never pay attention to the zodiac
P.S. Don't take too long to come

And to top it off, it's raining outside
Fate played me dirty

Maria, oh oh oh oh oh ooh
What can I do in this city?
Maria, oh oh oh oh oh ooh
Everything's going wrong for me
Maria, oh oh oh oh oh ooh
What can I do in this city?
Maria, oh oh oh oh oh ooh
Everything's going wrong for me

Maria, Maria

Maria, oh oh oh oh oh ooh
What can I do in this city?
Maria, oh oh oh oh oh ooh
Everything's going wrong for me
