Maria Brasileira

Água fria, panela de barro
Com o corpo molhado
E a barriga vazia
É tão cedo pra ir pro trabalho
Já são dez pras quatro
Levanta Maria!
E vai de casa pro trabalho
Pra ganhar alguns trocados
Para ter o que comer
É num mundo civilizado
Onde o pobre fica de lado
Que ela quer sobreviver!
Maria se fez assim
Acordou plantando sementes
Tentando reconstruir
A igualdade que estava ausente
Maria brasileira
Maria do Brasil
Todo dia ela desce pro asfalto
Sem medo, sem salto
Capricho ou mania
Na favela uma queda pro alto
Calor, pé descalço
Cantando pra vida
E lava prato, lava carro
Pra ganhar alguns trocados
Para ter o que comer
É num mundo civilizado
Onde o pobre é como escravo
Que ela quer sobreviver
Maria se fez assim
Tão bela mulher guerreira
Tentando reconstruir
Mesmo que leve uma vida inteira
Maria brasileira
Maria do Brasil
