Maria Rita began to sing professionally aged 24, even though she began to sing since she was 14. Her first CD, 'Maria Rita', launched her career, with the first cut on her first album, "A Festa (The Party)", written by Milton Nascimento, a Brazilian singer-songwriter. The CD was platinum and was a hit worldwide. After that album she became an international star. Her mother's career as a renowned singer had a major influence in Maria Rita's life as a singer; She was always conscious of being the single daughter of a great singer. Despite having her mother's vocal DNA, Maria Rita developed her own jazzy vocal style, influenced by singers, like among others, Ella Fitzgerald. She won the 2004 Latin Grammy Award for Best New Artist in the General Area. Her debut album, 'Maria Rita', won the Best MPB (Popular Brasilian Music) Album award of that year. Rita is pronounced "HEE-taaa".
A outra
Maria Rita Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Já me cansei de ser a última a saber de ti
Se todo mundo sabe quem te faz
Chegar mais tarde
Eu já cansei de imaginar você com ela
Diz pra mim
Se vale a pena amor
A gente ria tanto desses nossos desencontros
E agora eu já não sei mais
Eu quero paz
Quero dançar com outro par
Pra variar amor
Não dá mais pra fingir que ainda não vi
As cicatrizes que ela fez
Se dessa vez ela é
Senhora desse amor
Pois vá embora por favor
Que não demora pra essa dor
Sangrar...
The song "A outra" by Maria Rita is a powerful and emotional piece that portrays the pain and struggles of a woman who is fed up with being the last one to know the truth about her partner's infidelity. The opening lines convey the overwhelming desire for peace and the longing to be free of the constant stress and anxiety brought on by being in a relationship with someone who is unfaithful. She is tired of being left in the dark and wants to know the truth about her partner's other relationship.
The woman is clearly hurt and tortured by the thoughts of her partner being with someone else. She is weary of the constant guessing games and is unsure of what to think about the situation. She wants to know if it is worth it to stay in the relationship and work through their problems or if it is better to just move on and find someone else who will appreciate and love her as she deserves. The lyrics are raw and heartfelt, and they convey the deep emotions of betrayal and longing for something better.

Sinceramente, nao gostei! achei uma musica muito 'quebrada', Casa Pré Fabricada ela nao quebrou tanto o tempo que estávamos acostumados a ouvir, e ficou perfeita. Mas A Outra é uma musica que engana, é uma musica de escutar uma história, por isso, esperava uma coisa mais linear, mais contada.
