Maria, Maria
Mary, Mary
É um dom, uma certa magia
It's a gift, a certain magic
Uma força que nos alerta
A force that alerts us
Uma mulher que merece
A woman who deserves
Viver e amar
Live and love
Como outra qualquer
Like any other
Do planeta
From the planet
Maria, Maria
Mary, Mary
É o som, é a cor, é o suor
It's the sound, it's the color, it's the sweat
É a dose mais forte e lenta
It is the strongest and slowest dose
De uma gente que ri
Of people who laugh
Quando deve chorar
When should you cry
E não vive, apenas aguenta
And he doesn't live, he just endures
Mas é preciso ter força
But you have to have strength
É preciso ter raça
You have to have race
É preciso ter gana sempre
You always have to be happy
Quem traz no corpo a marca
Who carries the brand on their body
Maria, Maria
Mary, Mary
Mistura a dor e a alegria
Mix pain and joy
Mas é preciso ter manha
But you have to be smart
É preciso ter graça
You have to have grace
É preciso ter sonho sempre
You always have to have a dream
Quem traz na pele essa marca
Who carries this mark on their skin?
Possui a estranha mania
Has the strange mania
De ter fé na vida
To have faith in life
Mas é preciso ter força
But you have to have strength
É preciso ter raça
You have to have race
É preciso ter gana sempre
You always have to be happy
Quem traz no corpo a marca
Who carries the brand on their body
Maria, Maria
Mary, Mary
Mistura a dor e a alegria
Mix pain and joy
Mas é preciso ter manha
But you have to be smart
É preciso ter graça
You have to have grace
É preciso ter sonho sempre
You always have to have a dream
Quem traz na pele essa marca
Who carries this mark on their skin?
Possui a estranha mania
Has the strange mania
De ter fé na vida
To have faith in life
