María, María la del Barrio no, no llores más
María, María la del Barrio por tu amor él regresará
María, María la del Barrio no te culpes más
María, María la del Barrio Dios te perdonará
María la del Barrio soy yo
Por amor fue que todo pasó
María la del Barrio soy yo
Cuánto sufre mi herido corazón
María la del Barrio soy yo
Quiera Dios mi pecado perdonar
María la del Barrio soy yo
Para que vuelva la felicidad

[ Só depois de entender o espanhol, percebi que a letra da música de abertura da novela, é o resumo de toda a história da novela ]
Umas das grandes novelas que assistir, eu e acredito muita gente no mundo tem a mesma opinião!
Quanto criança aqui no Brasil, assisti e gostei, mas não estava com atenção a qualidade da obra!
Depois de adulto, mais de 20 anos de visto a primeira vez, revi a novela em espanhol para aprender o idioma! Então, notei a qualidade alta da novela, a grande qualidade das atuações!
Assistir em espanhol, permitiu captar a voz original dos atores, e prestar mais atenção nos personagens e suas atuações!
E Maria do Bairro, não é apenas uma novela de muito sucesso mundial, é mais do que isso. É na verdade, uma obra de dramaturgia que na minha humildade opinião, ficará para história do mesmo modo como o filme " E o Vento Levou" ou filme " Titanic", os quais sempre são lembrados!
[ Acho que o segredo da novela Maria do Bairro, é um roteiro bem escrito. E ser uma novela muito dinâmica! Nota-se que dramas iniciam-se rapidamente após cada fim de um ciclo. A própria Maria do Bairro, disse em certo momento da novela: " Saiu de uma para entrar em outra" ]
( Claro que nada é perfeito, existe momento na novela que são questionáveis! Por exemplo, como ninguém pensou em fazer um retrato falado da personagem Agripina Peréz, quando a Maria é recuperada do sanatório de doentes mentais)
{ Temas como a pobreza, religiosidade, foi muito bem tratados na novela. Outro ponto importante, é que a novela tem um cunho muito familiar, e sem apelos a erotização e sexualidade. Todos os elementos que poucos vemos hoje em dia}
Atores importantes da América Latina, que atuaram, mas principalmente a atuação da Thalia no papel de Maria do Bairro, foi incrível! Admito que assistindo na segunda vez, fiquei de boca aberta.
( Claro que não dá para nota que a Thalia tinha um rosto muito bonito! Foi um dos rostos mais bonitos dos anos 90).
A Thalia conseguiu na mesma novela, atuar como uma garota 15/16 anos vindo da pobreza e sem estudos e educação, para uma senhora elegante e refinada aos 30 anos, uma dama! No entanto, na fase da senhora Maria, mesmo com refinamento que a educação lhe deu, ela não perdeu alguns traços da menina selvagem que chegou na mansão dos "De La Vega". E em algumas circunstância da novela, como forma de reação a adversidade, a Maria manifestação o seu jeito mais impulsivo e destemido!
Das fases da novela, a melhor para mim, foi a fase intermediária, quando a Maria do Bairro devido ao abandono do marido, contraiu depressão pós parto, e acaba por dar o seu próprio filho! E nesta fase a atuação da Thalia como Maria do Bairro, é a que mais marca, gera muito admiração pelo seu trabalho na novela!
E foram cenas inesquecíveis!
Uma cena, é resumida nesse vídeo curto de 3: 54. Quando Luís Fernando dá o fraga em Maria e Nandinho, achando que ambos estão cometendo adultério! E a forma bruta e violenta de Luís Fernando foi barrada pela força e valentia da senhora Maria para defesa do próprio filho, a manifestação de uma mãe disposta a tudo!
Existe várias cenas marcantes, umas 10 cenas pelo menos!
E espero que Thalia possa voltar e fazer outras novelas, e desta vez tendo outros tipos de personagens!

Rayos! La novela era más dramática de lo que recordaba! xD Apenas era una niña pero ya han pasado 25 años y Thalia esta igual de hermosa ❤es increíble esa mujer!
@artegrafico78
Sí, Thali es la emperatriz de la belleza. La artista latina más bonita.

Como soy de los ochenta, me gustava mas Verónica de Castro. Era bien chiquito cuando pasó "Los ricos también lloran" en Brasil. Yo veía a Verónica como la mujer mas linda del mundo, después de mi mamá.
