João e Maria
Agora eu era o herói
E o meu cavalo só falava inglês
A noiva do cowboy
Era você
Além das outras três
Eu enfrentava os batalhões
Os alemães e seus canhões
Guardava o meu bodoque
E ensaiava o rock
Para as matinês
Agora eu era o rei
Era o bedel e era também juiz
E pela minha lei
A gente era obrigado a ser feliz
E você
Era a princesa que eu fiz coroar
E era tão linda de se admirar
Que andava nua pelo meu país
Não, não fuja não
Finja que agora eu era o seu brinquedo
Eu era o seu pião
O seu bicho preferido
Vem, me dê a mão
A gente agora já não tinha medo
No tempo da maldade
Acho que a gente nem tinha nascido
Agora era fatal
Que o faz-de-conta terminasse assim
Pra lá deste quintal
Era uma noite que não tem mais fim
Pois você
Sumiu no mundo sem me avisar
E agora eu era um louco a perguntar
O que é que a vida vai fazer de mim?
João and Maria
Now I was the hero
And my horse only spoke English
The cowboy's bride
It was you
In addition to the other three
I faced the battalions
The Germans and their cannons
I kept my bodoque
And rehearsed rock
For the matinees
Now I was the king
He was the beadle and he was also a judge
And by my law
We were forced to be happy
And you
She was the princess I made crowned
And it was so beautiful to admire
Who walked around my country naked
No, don't run away
Pretend I was your toy now
I was your top
Your favorite animal
Come, give me your hand
We were no longer afraid
In the time of evil
I don't think we were even born
Now it was fatal
That the make-believe ended like this
Beyond this backyard
It was a night that never ends
Well you
Disappeared into the world without telling me
And now I was a madman to ask
What will life do to me?
