Maria Bethânia

(Caetano Veloso)

Int.: 
Everybody knows that our cities were built to be destroyed 

You get annoyed, you buy a flat, you hide behind the mat 

But I know she was born to do everything wrong whith all of that 

Maria Bethânia, please send me a letter 

I wish to know things are getting better 

Better, better, Beta, Beta, Bethânia 

Please send me a letter 

I wish to know things are getting better... 

She has given her soul to the devil but the devil gave his soul to God 

Before the flood, after the blood, before you can see 

She has given her soul to the devil and bought a flat by the sea 

Maria Bethânia etc... 

Everybody knows that it's so hard to dig and get to the root 

You eat the fruit, you go ahead, you wake up on your bed 

But I love her face 'cause it has nothing to do with all
