Astrud Gilberto - Maria Quiet

[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]
