And I'm still dreaming of our life before
But why're you leaving?
I'm not naturally talkative
But I'll admit, it's a mess
And I think of you in my bed
You're on my mind
Every night
Come back to me, darling
And now, I don't know, mi amor
I think it's okay
I think it's not okay
In fact, I don't know
You don't know it but I'm lost since we broke up
And I pretend to love another and to've forgotten you
Maria, Maria
Love me more than yesterday
I've only got you, madre mia
Love me, forget me
Maria, Maria
Love me more than yesterday
I've only got you, madre mia
Love me, forget me
tell me where you're going? where you're going?
And I'll follow you like the wind
tell me where you're going? where you're going?
I'm no longer the same as before
tell me where you're going? where you're going?
And I'll follow you like the wind
tell me where you're going? where you're going?
I'm no longer the same as before
Hey, it's madness, madness
Yeah, you promised me
You promised me a thousand and one bits of magic
You who are so fragile
But I'm the one blushing
For life, yeah, it's for life
You never forget when it's for life
You don't know it but I'm lost since we broke up
And I pretend to love another and to've forgotten you
Maria, Maria
Love me more than yesterday
I've only got you, madre mia
Love me, forget me
Maria, Maria
Love me more than yesterday
I've only got you, madre mia
Love me, forget me
tell me where you're going? where you're going?
And I'll follow you like the wind
tell me where you're going? where you're going? where you're going?
I'm no longer the same as before
tell me where you're going? where you're going?
And I'll follow you like the wind
And tell me where you're going? where you're going?
I'm no longer the same as before
Yeah, yeah, hiya Mari'
Yeah, yeah, hiya Mari'
Yeah, yeah, hiya Mari'
Yeah, yeah, hiya Mari'
Yeah, yeah, hiya Mari'
Yeah, yeah, hiya Mari'
Yeah, yeah, hiya Mari'
alright?
tell me where you're going? tell me where you're going?

SONG MEANING

“Maria” is Soolking’s late-night phone call that never gets answered. Over a smooth, Latin-tinged beat, the Algerian-French artist flips between French, Arabic, and a touch of Spanish to paint the picture of a man who cannot shake the ghost of a past love. He tosses and turns in bed, replaying “notre vie d’avant” and begging Maria to love him “plus que hier.” One moment he swears he is fine, the next he admits he is completely lost without her. The bilingual chorus becomes his confession booth: he tries to act tough, pretending to love someone else, yet every line circles back to Maria.

At its core, the song captures the chaos of post-breakup limbo. Soolking swings between hope and despair, promising to follow Maria “comme le vent” while pleading “aime-moi, oublie-moi.” The repeated question “Dis-moi où tu vas?” shows he is stuck in place, desperate for direction now that his emotional compass is gone. By blending heartfelt lyrics with an irresistible rhythm, “Maria” turns heartache into a danceable plea, reminding listeners that longing can be both painful and irresistibly catchy.
