Full lyrics
Maria era do sitio direita e pobre que nem Jó
Ate aparecer um sujeito oferecendo-lhe ora embora
A coitada caiu na conversa
Foi com ele a Belém do Pará
Ate aqui ele nunca lhe deu nada
Pra viver ela tem que trabalhar
Toda vez que ela pede ele se esconde pra não dar
E é por isso que ela agora esta falando em lhe deixar
Translation
Maria was from the countryside, upright and as poor as Job
Until a fellow appeared offering her right away
The poor thing fell for the conversation
She went with him to Belém do Pará
Until now he has never given her anything
To live she has to work
Every time she asks, he hides so he doesn't have to give
And that's why she's now talking about leaving him
Every time she asks, he hides so he doesn't have to give
And that's why she's now talking about leaving him
