'Maria', there's a person that is beloved
By all of the people who bear injuries...

When I look around me
Everyone is so hurried
And is passing through to somewhere at a fast pace

This year, I hadn't noticed them
Until they were this close to me
The signs of winter had arrived

Today, somewhere in this city
Certainly the two of them will meet, their eyes locking
And the curtain will violently open

None the less, everything
Will certainly come to an end
One day

Today, somewhere in this city
The two of them will choose their own paths
The curtain will quietly lower

'Maria', there's a person that I love
Sometimes he feels a powerful loneliness
But that person that I love
And eventually he'll be fullfilled in every way

'Maria', there's a person that I love
Sometimes he bears deep, deep wounds
But that person that I love
And eventually he'll be healed of all of them

'Maria', everyone is crying
But I want to believe in you
So I'm praying
That this is the last love for me

The beginning comes without reason
The end always has the reason
