Maria Rita Lyrics

Maria do Socorro
Suas pernas torneadas
Pelas ladeiras do morro
Ela vai no baile funk
De shortinho top e gorro
É afim do Zé Galinha
Mas namora o Zé Cachorro

Maria do Socorro
Suas pernas torneadas

Pelas ladeiras do morro
Ela vai no baile funk
De shortinho top e gorro
É afim do Zé Galinha
Mas namora o Zé Cachorro

E no baile
Só da ela
Só da ela
Ja foi miss comunidade da favela
Hoje sonha em morar noutro lugar
Mas Zé Cachorro não deixa
A gata se queixa
Mas fica por lá

Maria do Socorro
Suas pernas torneadas
Pelas ladeiras do morro
Ela vai no baile funk
De shortinho top e gorro
É afim do Zé Galinha
Mas namora o Zé Cachorro

E no baile
Só da ela
Só da ela
Ja foi miss comunidade da favela
Hoje sonha em morar noutro lugar
Mas Zé Cachorro não deixa
A gata se queixa
Mas fica por lá

Maria do Socorro
Suas pernas torneadas
Pelas ladeiras do morro
Ela vai no baile funk
De shortinho top e gorro
É afim do Zé Galinha
Mas namora o Zé Cachorro

Maria do Socorro
Suas pernas torneadas
Pelas ladeiras do morro
Ela vai no baile funk
De shortinho top e gorro
É afim do Zé Galinha
Mas namora o Zé Cachorro

É afim do Zé Galinha
Mas namora o Zé Cachorro

Afim do Zé Galinha
E namora o Zé Cachorro

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".
