Paroles et traduction Nara Leão - Maria

Maria

Encontrei numa escola de samba Maria .
Deixando cair na folia
Dizendo que era rainha do cordão
Desfilando com manto de ouro e coroa
Mandando sorrisos a toa
Para o povo aplaudir sua evolução
Quarta feira voltou pra casa
E a patroa não tinha mais samba pra ela
Nem viu seu retrato na folha do jornal
E agora Maria escutando novela
Botando no fogo a panela
Espera chegar outro carnaval

Até quando, meu Deus, vai durar
A batida se toda alegria da vida
Maria espera plantada no portão
Afinal, tudo que ela reclama é sossego
Pra dar atenção ao seu nego
Sambista sem fama, sem nome e sem tostão

Maria

I met Maria at a samba school.
She was letting herself go in the revelry
Saying that she was the queen of the band
Parading with a golden cloak and crown
Sending smiles everywhere
For the people to applaud her evolution
On Wednesday, she returned home
And the boss had no more samba for her
She didn't even see her picture in the newspaper
And now Maria is listening to soap operas
Putting the pan on the fire
Waiting for another Carnival to come

How long, my God, will we endure
The beating of all the joys of life
Maria waits planted at the gate
After all, all she craves is peace
To give attention to her love
A samba player with no fame, no name, and no money
