Does anyone have the lyrics to the song Yo Soy Maria, that Dubreiul and Lauzon used in their OD this year?

I have them but it's kind of long...any specific part you want? Spanish or English???

Ok so it's not as long as I thought...I didn't notice that it has it in FOUR languages. (what appears to be German, French, Spanish, and English) Here is the Spanish version (I'm guessing that's what you want because that's what it actually is, but if you want English [or one of the other languages] I can do that too):
Yo soy Maria
de Buenos Aires
de Buenos Aires Maria, ¿no ven quien soy yo?
Maria Tango, Maria del arrabal,
Maria noche, Maria pasion fatal,
Maria del amor
de Buenos Aires soy yo.

Yo soy Maria
de Buenos Aires,
si en este barrio la gente pregunta quien soy,
pronto muy bien lo sabran
las hembras que
me envidarian,
y cada macho a mis pies
como un raton
en mi trampa ha de caer.

Yo soy Maria
de Buenos Aires,
soy la mas bruja cantando y amando ¡tambien!
Si el bandoneon me provoca... ¡tiara, tata!
le muerdo fuerte la boca... ¡tiara, tata!
con diez espasmos en flor que yo tengo en mi ser.

Siempre me digo
¡dale Maria!
cuando un misterio me viene trepando la voz,
y canto un tango que nadie jamas canto
y sueno un que nadie jamas sono:
porque el manana es hoy
con el ayer despues, ¡che!

Yo soy Maria
de Buenos Aires,
de Buenos Aires Maria, ¡yo soy mi ciudad!
Maria tango, Maria del arrabal,
Maria noche, Maria pasion fatal
¡Maria del amor
de Buenos Aires soy yo!


I didn't put the accents in because it was too complicated, hope that's ok! :D

I've translated most of it but there are some words that the computer couldn't get. If you could post the english version you have, I'd be very grateful. But thanks again for this spanish version, it's what I wanted for sure!! :) :) :)

Here you go:
I am Maria
of Buenos Aires
Maria of Buenos Aires, don't you see who I am?
Maria tango, slum Maria,
Maria night, Maria fatal passion
Maria of love
of Buenos Aires, that's me.

I am Maria
of Buenos Aires
if someone in the quarter should ask who I am,
the females will soon well know
and envy me
and every guy will fall at my feet
like a mouse
in my trap.

I am Maria
of Buenos Aires
I use my charms both in singing and in love
If the bandoneon arouses me ... tia-ra, ta-ta!
I bite it hard in its mouth ... tia-ra, ta-ta!
with ten flowering spasms that I've got in myself.

I always say to myself
Go ahead, Maria!
when a mystery comes climbing up my voice,
and I sing a tango nobody ever sang
and I dream a dream nobody ever dreamt:
because tomorrow is today
and then comes yesterday, che!

I am Maria
of Buenos Aires,
of Buenos Aires, Maria, I am my town!
Maria tango, slum Maria,
Maria night, Maria fatal passion
Maria of love
of Buenos Aires, that's me.

:D
