Lyrics
Maria Pequena

Sambou, sambou
Mostrou sua arte na pista
De repente Maria parou
Pra nascer mais um sambista
Maria pequena
Não tem instrução
Mas é diplomada em forno e fogão
Nascida no morro como eu no meio de bambas
E é a primeira porta-estandarte da escola de samba
Cantando o enredo a todo instante
Esquecendo a sua condição de gestante
Maria pequena dá tudo na vida
Pra que a sua escola seja a mais querida
Não é casada mas Zeca pandeiro
Que é seu companheiro
Nas horas de amor
E eu sempre dizia cuidado Maria
Porque um dia em plena folia pode acontecer
A escola desceu
Lá estava Maria com seu olhar penetrante
E era de pura alegria
E assim foi chegado
O momento final
Era domingo de carnaval.
