Quicksilver Daydreams of Maria Songtext
von Richard Dobson

A diamond fades quickly when matched to the face of Maria
The harps they sound empty when she lifts her lips to the sky
The brown of her skin makes her hair seem a soft golden rainfall
That spills from the mountains to the bottomless depths of her eyes
She stands all around me, her hands slowly sifting the sunshine
The laughter that lingered down deep ′neath her smiling is free
It spins and it twirls like a hummingbird lost in the morning
Then caresses the south wind and silently sails to the sea
No hay nadie en el mundo como ella que quiero, Maria
Con solo su imagen el cielo comienza a bailar


Las aves no vuelan, el viento ya para su canto
Y por todo el monte su nombre comienzo a escuchar
As softly she wanders, I'll desperately follow her footsteps
I′ll chase after shadows that offer a trace of her sight
They promise eternally that she lies hidden within them
I find they've deceived me and sadly I bid them goodbye
The serpent slides slowly away with his moments of laughter
The old washerwoman, she's finished her cleaning and gone
The bamboo hangs heavy in the bondage of quicksilver daydreams
And a lonely child longingly looks for a place to belong
