Ela Tinha Uma Amiga
Camané
She Had a Friend Named Maria
She had a friend named Maria
Who was the one who answered when I called
She had a friend named Maria
Whom she told to say she wasn't there
And when I insisted, and didn't hang up
It was always Maria
Who lied to me and comforted me
And asked what I wanted from her
She had a friend named Maria
Who never knew where she was
She had a friend named Maria
Whom she used when she deceived me
And when I went there, and didn't find her
It was always Maria
Who told me she wouldn't be long
Who swore she would come back
When I went to get her, and we went out
It was always Maria who cheered us up
When I invited her, and she didn't want to
It was with Maria that I always danced
And when I made up a melody
It was always Maria
Who applauded me, and she didn't care
And I kept singing to Maria
In the cinema, in the dark, when I kissed her
She turned pale, Maria blushed
She didn't care about me and fell asleep
And it was with Maria
That I talked
And I stayed almost until dawn
She had a friend named Maria
Whom she told to say she wasn't there
Until another day she called me
And I said: Maria...
And I said: Maria!
And I said: 'Maria, go tell them I'm not here!'
