Mortal Loucura
Maria Bethânia
Mortal Madness
In the prayer that unearths, the earth
God wants those who have the care, given
To preach that life is borrowed, state
A thousand mysteries that unearths, buries
Who does not take care of oneself, that is earth, errs
That the high King by renowned, beloved
Is the one who assists him to the vigilant, side
From death to the air does not release, clings
Who from the world the mortal madness, cures
The sacred will of God, pleases
To secure his life in bondage, lasts
Oh, zealous voice, that doubled, shouts
I already know that the flower of beauty, usury
Will be at the end of this journey, nothing
