Maria, Maria
Milton Nascimento
Maria, Maria
Maria, Maria is a gift, a certain magic
A force that alerts us
A woman who deserves to live and love
Like any other on the planet
Maria, Maria is the sound, the color, the sweat
It's the strongest and slowest dose
Of a people who laugh when they should cry
And don't just live, only endure
But it's necessary to have strength, it's necessary to have race
It's necessary to have desire always
Those who carry the mark on their body
Maria, Maria mixes pain and joy
But it's necessary to be cunning, it's necessary to have grace
It's necessary to dream always
Those who carry this mark on their skin
Have the strange habit of having faith in life
But it's necessary to have strength, it's necessary to have race
It's necessary to have desire always
Those who carry the mark on their body
Maria, Maria mixes pain and joy
But it's necessary to be cunning, it's necessary to have grace
It's necessary to dream always
Those who carry this mark on their skin
Have the strange habit of having faith in life
