27. Media vita in morte sumus. Quem quaerimus adjutorem nisi te domine?

Qui pro peccatis nostris juste irasceris

Sancte Deus, sancte fortis
Sancte misericors Salvator
Amaræ morti ne tradas nos

In te speraverunt patres nostri
Speraverunt et liberasti eos

Sancte Deus, sancte fortis
Sancte misericors Salvator
Amaræ morti ne tradas nos

Ad te clamaverunt patres nostri
Clamaverunt et non sunt confusi

Sancte Deus, sancte fortis
Sancte misericors Salvator
Amaræ morti ne tradas nos

Gloria Patri, et Filio
et Spiritui Sancto

Sancte Deus, sancte fortis
Sancte misericors Salvator
Amaræ morti ne tradas nos

[Flaxbee]

31. ... first thing that popped into my head

was "How do you solve a problem like Maria?"


Maria Lyrics by Sound Of Music
(one nun at a time)
She climbs a tree
And scrapes her knee

Her dress has got a tear

She waltzes on her way to mass
And whistles on the stair

And underneath her wimple
She has curlers in her hair!

I've even heard her singing in the abbey

She's always late for chappe,

But her penitence is real

She's always late for everything

Except for every meal

I hate to have to say it but I very firmly feel

(all together)
Maria's not an asset to the abbey

(one nun)
I'd like to say a word in her behalf:
Maria makes me laugh

(all nuns laugh)

(all nuns)
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?

(one nun at a time)
A flibbertajibbit?

A will of a whisp

a clown

Many a thing you know you'd like tell her
Many a thing she 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 moon beam in your hand?

When I'm with her
I'm confused
Out of focus
And bemused
And I never know exactly where I am

(one nun at a time)
Unpredictable as weather

She's as flighty as a feather

She's a darling

She's a demon

She's a lamb

She'd out pester any pest
Drive a hornet from its nest

She can throw a twirling dervish out of whirl

She is gentle
She is wild

She's a riddle
She's a child

She's a headache

She's an angel

She's a girl!!

(all at once)
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 flibbertajjibet
A will of a wisp
A clown

Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
Many a thing she 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 moon beam in your hand?

35. ...not an asset to the abbey!

:o

[Pierre.Suave]

16. Ava Maria

that is a beautiful song.

[SallyMander]

19. I'm not cultured

i voted for Blondie.

:yoiks:

[Pierre.Suave]

20. I like that one too

dont worry.

But I prefer the peace of the Ava Maria to the Blondie Maria.

I have really begun to enjoy peace lately.

[IzaSparrow]

21. When I hear it,

(holidays, weddings, etc.) I'm at church with my family and I'm pretty sure that song is one of the ways the church gets you primed for the brainwashings. I swear it's the christian version of the Sirens.

[CGowen]

22. Sandra?

[SallyMander]

33. I should have done a survey before i did my survey!

:hi:

[stuntcat]

23. Blondie

:headbang:

[SallyMander]

34. Word.

That's the song that inspired the poll. :D

[Iggo]

24. Ave Maria.

When sung correclty and in the proper venue, it's the most beautiful song I've ever heard.

[SallyMander]

36. Welcome to DU Iggo!

:hi:

:toast:

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

25. West Side Story for sure!

[SallyMander]

37. I'm surprised that one is winning!

That's a lovely pic. :)

[lost-in-nj]

29. I like Santana

its a good song to dance to.....


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ml3NUIDpFg

And Carlos is way cool

lost

[SallyMander]

38. I liked that whole album when it came out

Some of the songs suffered radio-overplay death... but maybe i should give it another listen now that it's been a while! :)

:hi:

[Silver Swan]

32. From Paint Your Wagon

They Call the Wind Maria

I know it's Mar-eye-ah, not Ma-ree-ah in that song, but my great-grandmother was named Maria, and her name was pronounced Mar-eye-ah.

[SallyMander]

39. That's such a pretty name

Another one i could have added! :)

Did people always pronounce your great-grandma's name wrong?

[billyskank]

40. I just met a girl named Mar-ee-aaaaa

[SallyMander]

44. Eh, you're just voting for the winner!

:evilgrin:

[billyskank]

46. I hate losing.

:hi:

[ronnykmarshall]

41. Blondie

I love that song.

[SallyMander]

45. Me too!

That was the inspiration for the poll... i thought, i wonder what the best Maria song is??? Apparently i forgot quite a few -- but i still say Blondie has 'em beat! :D
