It served to show

How stupid we are to hide

Everything that's a sin, everything outside the contract

Everything that's pleasurable and good for you

Calm down, boy

You're the only one who hid

I'm the daughter of the Moon and the street

I'm round, white, and naked

I was born to live, not to be saved

I bathe in sacred waters

Find me at the crossroads

I drink and dance in the face of death and pain

I'm the daughter of the Moon and the street

I'm round, white, and naked

I was born to live, not to be saved

Not even marriage

Why get married?

But what about love?

Did it never reach you?

Everything we did, everything we built between us

Does none of it mean anything to you?

Calm down, boy

You don't even know what love is

I'm the daughter of the Moon and the street

I'm round, white, and naked

I was born to live, not to be saved

I don't want a lifelong promise

No castle, no pretty clothes

Am I some stray for you to rescue?

I never said I wanted a bed

I turn my world into a bed

I only ask for respect so I can respect you

I'm not rich, but I'm not stupid either

I can smell it when someone's no good

What you call love is a rope

To hang me with

Why get married?

SONG MEANING

Have you ever felt like someone just didn't understand your need for freedom? "Carta De Maria" (Maria's Letter) by Brazilian artist Rubel and the amazing Marina Sena is a song all about that feeling. It's a powerful response from a woman, Maria, to a man who wants to define their relationship with rules and contracts. Maria rejects this completely. She proudly declares she is a "filha da Lua com a rua" (a daughter of the Moon and the street), a wild and free spirit who embraces all of life's experiences, not just the socially acceptable ones.

This song is a true anthem of independence. Maria makes it clear that she doesn't need a castle, nice clothes, or anyone to "rescue" her. Her most powerful line says it all: "Eu nasci pra viver, não pra me salvar" (I was born to live, not to be saved). She sees the man's conventional idea of love as a trap, calling it a "corda pra me enforcar" (a rope to hang me). It's a celebration of living life on your own terms, demanding respect, and refusing to be tamed.
