Maria Das Mercedes

I have a girlfriend living in the countryside
Maria das Mercedes, pretty as a hummingbird
Yesterday I received a letter from her smelling like flowers
My love, I'm untouched, pure, come back, please

Around forty
Around forty I'll go
Around forty
Around forty I'll go

I wanted to write to the old address
Especially since I know it from the big city
How foolish of me, I forgot your last name

If it's Pereira, Moreira, Ferreira
All I know is it ends with 'eira'
Like that banana tree

If it's Pereira, Moreira, Ferreira
All I know is it ends with 'eira'
Like that banana tree
