Acuérdate de Acapulco,
de aquellas noches,
María bonita, María del alma.
Acuérdate que en la playa
con tus manitas las estrellitas
las enjuagabas.
Tu cuerpo del mar juguete, nave al garete,
venían las olas, lo columpiaban,
y mientras yo te miraba,
lo digo con sentimiento,
mi pensamiento te traicionaba.
Te dije muchas palabras de esas bonitas
con que se arrullan los corazones,
pidiendo que mi quisieras,
que convirtieras en realidades mis ilusiones.
La luna que nos miraba
ya hacía un ratito
se hizo un poquito desentendida,
y cuando la vi escondida
me arrodillé a besarte
y así entregarte toda mi vida.
Amores habrás tenido, muchos amores,
María Bonita, María del alma,
pero ninguno tan bueno ni tan honrado
como el que hiciste que en mí brotara.
Lo traigo lleno de flores
como una ofrenda
para dejarlo bajo tus plantas.
Recíbelo emocionada
y júrame que no mientes
porque te sientes idolatrada.
The lyrics MARIA BONITA of CAETANO VELOSO is also present in the album Fina estampa (1994)
Caetano Veloso (Salvador, 7 aprile 1942) è uno dei cantautori più influenti del Brasile. Figlio di una famiglia borghese, si avvicina alla musica fin da giovane, appassionandosi al bossa nova e al rock. Negli anni '60, a Rio de Janeiro, diventa parte del movimento Tropicália, un'esplosione culturale che mescolava elementi tradizionali brasiliani con influenze internazionali come il pop, il psichedelico e il jazz. Caetano Veloso è noto per le sue melodie innovative, i testi poetici e la sua voce distintiva. Œuvre fondamentale del movimento Tropicália, Caetano ha collaborato con artisti come Gilberto Gil, Tom Zé e Gal Costa. Nel 1968, a seguito della censura militare in Brasile, viene esiliato in Londra. Dopo il ritorno in patria, continua a produrre musica di grande successo, esplorando nuovi generi musicali come la world music e l'elettronica. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "Alegria, Alegria", "Sozinho", "Sampa" e "O Leãozinho". Caetano Veloso è considerato un'icona culturale brasiliana, il cui impatto sulla musica e la società del suo paese rimane profondo.
