Acorda, Maria Bonita

Wake up, Maria Bonita
Get up, go make the coffee
As the day is already breaking
And the police are already on their feet

Wake up, Maria Bonita
Get up, go make the coffee
As the day is already breaking
And the police are already on their feet

If I knew that crying
Would delay your journey
My eyes were two rivers
That didn't let you pass

Curly black hair
Delicate brown eyes
Who doesn't love the dark skin
Dies blind and sees nothing

Wake up, Maria Bonita
Get up, go make the coffee
As the day is already breaking
And the police are already on their feet

Wake up, Maria Bonita
Get up, go make the coffee
As the day is already breaking
And the police are already on their feet

If I knew that crying
Would delay your journey
My eyes were two rivers
That didn't let you pass

Curly black hair
Delicate brown eyes
Who doesn't love the dark skin
Dies blind and sees nothing

Wake up, Maria Bonita
Get up, go make the coffee
As the day is already breaking
And the police are already on their feet

Wake up, Maria Bonita
Get up, go make the coffee
As the day is already breaking
And the police are already on their feet

And the police are already on their feet
And the police are already on their feet
And the police are already on their feet
