João and Maria (feat. Nara Leão)

Now, I became the hero
And my horse could only speak English
The Cowboy's Bride
Was you, plus the other three

I faced the battalions
The Germans and their cannons
I put away my slingshot
And rehearsed rock musics
For the matinees

Now, I became the king
I became the beadle and also the judge
And according to my laws
We were forced to be happy

And you
Became the princess I crowned
And you were so beautiful to be admired
That you could walk around my country naked

No, don't run away, no
Pretend that, right now, I was your toy
I was your pawn
Your favorite puppy

Come on, give me your hand
We were no longer afraid
In the evil age
I don't think we were even born

Now, it became fatal
If the make-believe ended up like this
Beyond this yard
There was a never-ending night

Because you
Disappeared into the world without telling me
And now, I became a crazy man, wondering
What is life going to do with me?
