Maria Bethânia, tu és para mim a senhora do engenho
Em sonhos te vejo, Maria Betânia, és tudo que eu tenho
Quanta tristeza sinto no peito
Só em pensar que o meu sonho está desfeito
Maria Betânia, te lembras ainda daquele São João
As minhas palavras caíram bem dentro do teu coração
Tu me olhavas com emoção
E sem querer pus minha mão em tua mão
Maria Betânia, tu sentes saudade de tudo, bem sei
Porém, também sinto saudade do beijo que nunca te dei
Beijo que vive com esplendor
Nos lábios meus para aumentar a minha dor
Maria Betânia, eu nunca pensei acabar tudo assim
Maria Bethânia, por Deus eu te peço tem pena de mim
Hoje confesso com dissabor
Que não sabia nem conhecia o amor
