Astrud Gilberto - Maria Quiet(1998)

[00:21.63] They say that I was born
[00:24.11] Of slave mogama and white man
[00:27.31] My father slept in iron bed
[00:30.08] My mother on cold sand
[00:32.80] When my father called
[00:34.26] My mother would come
[00:35.75] Never said a word
[00:36.85] As if she were dumb
[00:38.76] A woman who will talk too much
[00:41.28] Is soon to lose her man
[00:49.22] They say God made man first
[00:51.62] And made a woman second choice
[00:54.73] And so that's why woman should
[00:57.28] Obey her master's voice
[01:00.23] When the man is hungry
[01:01.70] She bakes the bread
[01:02.92] If man is cold
[01:04.23] She warms up the bed
[01:06.08] Standing up or laying down
[01:08.57] The woman has to work
[01:16.45] They say poor man wakes early
[01:19.30] And he works until it's night
[01:22.13] The rich man wakes up late
[01:24.27] And tells the poor man what is right
[01:27.36] So the poor prays to shango up above
[01:30.05] That the rich will lose the money they love
[01:33.33] But rich or poor the woman has
[01:35.75] To work for both of them
[01:39.17]
[01:44.05] But rich or poor the woman has
[01:46.61] To work for both of them
[01:54.17]
