Maria Joana (feat. Nuno Ribeiro e Mariza)

And it turned!
Where is this Maria?
I only have this Maria
I came from the north straight to Lisbon
Chasing a dream
That I don't even know if it flies
As much as we used to fly
Under the sheets
The 'francesinha' no longer has spice
And that reminds me of the moments
When you used to bite my lips

After love
I don't know if I can bear
The time I'll stay here
Because you're not here
Because you're not here
The tears will dry
But the longing will remain
In my chest calling

Maria Joana, Maria Joana
Catch the first bus
Come stay by my side forever
Maria Joana, Maria Joana
Catch the first bus
Come stay by my side forever
My mother never saw me leave
But every son flies one day

Longing, longing
Mom, take care of her for me
Tell me why you're not here
Maria, without you I'm lost
Longing, longing
Maria, I want to see you
I don't know if I can bear
The time I'll stay here
Because the longing tightens my chest
And it hurts too much (it hurts too much)

The tears will dry
But the longing will remain
In my chest calling
Maria Joana, Maria Joana
Catch the first bus
Come stay by my side forever
Maria Joana (Maria), Maria Joana
Catch the first bus
Come stay by my side forever

Maria, Maria, Maria
Maria, Maria, Maria
(Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria)
Maria, Maria, Maria
Maria, Maria, Maria
(Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria)

How many tears I cried
How many nights I didn't sleep
Every drop I shed
Made a river that leads me to you

Maria Joana
Maria Joana (how many tears I cried)
Catch the first bus
Come stay forever
By my side (how many nights I didn't sleep)
Maria Joana (oh, Maria)
Maria Joana (every drop I shed)
Catch the first bus
Come stay by my side forever

Maria, Maria, Maria
Maria, Maria, Maria
(Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria)
Maria, Maria, Maria
Maria, Maria, Maria
(Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria)
How many tears I cried
