Lyrics: Daniele Veloso
Music: Daniele Veloso
I could smell the hot coffee from afar
Old country songs playing on the radio,
Our old afternoons were marked by soap operas
As andorinhas voltaram, mas te levaram para longe
I miss calling you and hearing you respond,
Marias are sacred characters in my story,
If I were blind to reality
When I felt something good near me, I’d think it’s you,
This world never deserved your heart,
So I believe you’re in a better place.
Marias are sacred characters in my story,
If I were blind to reality
When I felt something good near me, I’d think it’s you,
This world never deserved your heart,
So I believe you’re in a better place.
My rehearsals to cope with your absence went wrong
References of love from the past that I can never forget
Countless times I picked up my guitar for you to hear
Your favorite songs that no longer played.
I miss calling you and hearing you respond,
Marias are sacred characters in my story,
If I were blind to reality
When I felt something good near me, I’d think it’s you,
This world never deserved your heart,
So I believe you’re in a better place.
Many times I avoided visiting her room
A woman who never stops living inside me
Her name is Maria, a supreme storyteller
There are things we see only with our eyes, but love perceives them.
I miss calling you and hearing you respond,
Marias are sacred characters in my story,
If I were blind to reality
When I felt something good near me, I’d think it’s you,
This world never deserved your heart,
So I believe you’re in a better place.
