San Antonio

San antonio upside down
That's how Teresa feels
Praying in her loneliness
To see which crazy person kisses her

Seven years of captivity
Her parents and their empire formed repression
Like a crazy goat she sought freedom
Parties and loves, colors and even more
Fire and madness flowed through her veins
And at every festivity she wanted to dance
Very short skirt, painted face
And she became the bad girl of the night
At her legal age
(Cold here, cold there)
At her legal age
(She's looking for a black man to console her)

San antonio upside down
That's how Teresa feels
Praying in her loneliness
To see which crazy person kisses her
Cupid's angel, fortune of the soul
Desperate she seeks someone to love
And to San Antonio with faith she calls
Because she wants to dance the Mapalé to enjoy

Who will be the black man who will wrap her up
She believes this happens in the blink of an eye
She's so crazy she dresses even upside down
Upside down, upside down

At her legal age
(She no longer laughs, dances, or does anything)
At her legal age
Menopause doesn't come alone
Now she lights candles and believes in saints, that's how it goes!

Chorus

San antonio upside down
That's how Teresa feels
Praying in her loneliness
To see which crazy person kisses her (repeat)

Cupid's angel, fortune of the soul
Desperate she seeks someone to love
And to San Antonio with faith she calls
Because she wants to dance the Mapalé to enjoy
(Mapalé, Mapalé, Mapalé, Mapalé)
