Evadne Baker, Anna Lee, Portia Nelson & Marni Nixon processional and maria

Select language to translate this lyric

How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Maria?
A flibbertigibbet
A will-o'-the wisp A Clown
Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
Many a thing she'd ought to understand
But how do you make her stay and listen to all you say?
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
