Maria Bethânia
Terezinha
The first one came to me as if coming from the florist
Brought a stuffed animal, brought an amethyst brooch
Told me about his travels and the advantages he had
Showed me his watch, called me queen
Found me so defenseless that he touched my heart
But I denied him nothing, and scared, I said no
The second one came to me as if coming from the bar
Brought a liter of bitter brandy to drink
Asked about my past and smelled my food
Rummaged through my drawer, called me lost
Found me so defenseless that he scratched my heart
But he gave me nothing, and scared, I said no
The third one came to me as if coming from nowhere
He didn't bring me anything, didn't ask anything either
I barely know his name but I understand what he wants
He lay on my bed and calls me woman
He approached stealthily and before I could say no
He settled like a squatter inside my heart
