Maria, Mariazinha
Alípio Martins
Maria, Little Maria
On a beautiful afternoon
I still remember
The old golden pier
Sambaing, esquirondon
I saw the little brunette, esquirondon
Clapping her clogs, esquirondon
And I was amazed... laiá, laiá, laiá
Sambaing, esquirondon
I saw the little brunette, esquirondon
Clapping her clogs, esquirondon
And I was amazed
With her swaying
I wanted to samba too
Oh beautiful little brunette
You will be only mine
You will be my love
The night was falling
In the sky emerging
A star shone
The beautiful little brunette
Was swaying and left
Maria, little Maria... iá iá iá
Maria, Maria
Satisfied your desire
I even give you reason
I have given my love
To others but I don't give my heart
I don't give my heart
Because I can't tear it out
Tearing it out, I know I die
And dying I can't love
On the old golden pier, esquirondon
Where she sambaed, esquirondon
Her beautiful swaying, esquirondon
My heart stopped
Sambaing, esquirondon
I saw the little brunette, esquirondon
Clapping her clogs, esquirondon
And I was amazed...
