tá chorando porque quer,
Não deu valor a sua mulher
Agora perdeu, agora perdeu, agora perdeu...
Agora perdeu, agora perdeu, agora perdeu...
Maria era quem fazia tudo,
dava até volta no mundo
Pra poder te agradar.
que passava sua roupa
pra você ir trabalhar
Maria que não ligava pra fofoca
Esperava a sua volta,
sempre pronta pra te amar
Maria sentimento verdadeiro
Nunca quis o seu dinheiro
Sempre foi de trabalhar
Agora perdeu, agora perdeu, agora perdeu...
Agora perdeu, agora perdeu, agora perdeu...
Já tem outro balançando a sua nega
Já tem outro vendo filme no sofá
Já tem outro abrindo sua geladeira
Já tem outro ocupando seu lugar.
Só quis dar a dor, só quis dar a dor, só quis dar a dor...
Maria delicada feito rosa,
só queria amor.
Agora perdeu!
Agora perdeu, agora perdeu, agora perdeu...
Agora perdeu, agora perdeu, agora perdeu...
Maria era quem fazia tudo
dava até volta no mundo
Pra poder te agradar
Maria de segunda a sexta – feira
que passava sua roupa
Pra você ir trabalalhar
Maria que não ligava pra fofoca
Esperava a sua volta,
sempre pronta pra te amar
Maria sentimento verdadeiro
Nunca quis o seu dinheiro
Sempre foi de trabalhar
Agora perdeu, agora perdeu, agora perdeu...
Agora perdeu, agora perdeu, agora perdeu...
Já tem outro balançando a sua nega
Já tem outro vendo filme no sofá
Já tem outro abrindo sua geladeira
Já tem outro ocupando seu lugar
Só quis dar a dor, só quis dar a dor, só quis dar a dor...
Maria delicada feito rosa,
só queria amor
Agora perdeu!
Agora perdeu, agora perdeu, agora perdeu...
Agora perdeu, agora perdeu, agora perdeu...
Agora perdeu, agora perdeu, agora perdeu...
Agora perdeu, agora perdeu, agora perdeu...
Ei tá vendo ai,
tá chorando porque quer
Não deu valor a sua mulher
Perdeu!
The lyrics of Will Tura's song "In de armen van een ander" narrates the story of a man who has lost his wife and is now regretting his actions. The song highlights the man's realization of the worth of his wife, Maria, after losing her. The lyrics detail the many things Maria did for him, from ironing his clothes to waiting for him to come home so she could love him. The chorus repeats the phrase "Agora perdeu," which translates to "Now it's lost," emphasizing the man's regret for taking Maria for granted. The chorus further emphasizes the theme of regret by saying, "Já tem outro," which translates to "There is already someone else," implying that the man has lost his place and is no longer important in Maria's life.
Furthermore, the song highlights Maria's character and the things she did for the man out of love. The lyrics state that Maria did everything to please her husband without expecting anything in return; it was all out of genuine love, which he failed to acknowledge. The song points out that even though she knew people talked about her, she did not care; all she wanted was to love and be loved. The lyrics end with the man crying, regretting, and acknowledging that he lost Maria, who was delicate like a rose.
"In de armen van een ander" is a beautiful song that highlights the importance of appreciating our partners and loved ones. It reminds us that we should never take people for granted and that true love is selfless and genuine.
