They Call the Wind Maria

Let’s take a trip back to 1961, a time when music was filled with soul and emotion. One song that perfectly captures the essence of that era is “They Call the Wind Maria” by the legendary Sam Cooke.

Released as part of his album “Swing Low,” this song showcases Cooke’s incredible vocal range and his ability to convey deep emotions through his music. With its haunting melody and heartfelt lyrics, “They Call the Wind Maria” is a true masterpiece.

The composition of this song is truly remarkable. Written by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, it was originally featured in the Broadway musical “Paint Your Wagon.” However, it was Sam Cooke’s rendition that truly brought the song to life and made it a timeless classic.

The meaning behind “They Call the Wind Maria” is open to interpretation. Some believe it is a metaphor for the longing and yearning for something or someone that is unattainable. Others see it as a reflection on the transient nature of life and the fleeting moments we experience.

Regardless of its meaning, one thing is for certain – this song has had a profound influence on countless artists and continues to resonate with listeners today. Its soulful melody and Cooke’s powerful vocals make it a must-listen for any music enthusiast.

They Call the Wind Maria – Sam Cooke lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

Way out west, they got a nameFor rain and wind and fireThe rain is Tess, the fire’s joe andThey call the wind Marīa
Oh no, Marīa blows the stars aroundAnd sends the clouds a flyingMarīa makes the mountain soundsLike folks were up there dyingMarīa, Marīa, they call the wind Marīa
Now before I knew Marīa’s nameAnd heard her wail and whiningI had a girl and she had meAnd the sun was always shiningOh, but then one day I left my girlI left her far behind meAnd now I’m lost, I’m oh so lostNot even God can find meMarīa, oh, Marīa, they call the wind Marīa
I hear they got a name for rainFor wind and fire onlyBut when you’re lost and all aloneThere ain’t no words but lonelyAnd I’m a lost and lonely manWithout a star to guide meMarīa, blow my love to meI need my girl beside me
Mmh, Marīa, ohh, MarīaI’m lonely can’t you seeMmh, Marīa, ohh, MarīaPlease blow my love to meMarīa, blow my love to me
