Maria Moita [English translation]

I was born in Bahia

To a maid and a foreman

My dad slept in a bed

My mom on the carpet

My dad would say just like that, come here

My mom would say yes, without speaking

Woman who speak much later go on to lose their love

God made man first

Woman was born later

That is why a woman

Always works for both

Man just arrived, he's hungry

Woman has to look after the man

Lying down, get up, woman has to work

The rich wakes up late, already they begin to complain

The poor wakes up early, already they begin to work

I'll ask my babalorixá*

To make a prayer to Xangô**

To put to work those who have never worked
