Celebrate Women's Day by learning a new song about a famous woman: Maria Bonita, the wife of the infamous Lampião.
Coro:
Não não não A mulher não nasceu pra sofrer não não não Ela não devia morrer
-------------
Maior do que Deus ninguém valente foi Lampião quando a polícia chegou acabou com a fama de valentão Maria Bonita era rainha do sertão ela se tornou bandida porque tinha amor a Lampião
Coro
Aquilo que foi amor Aquilo que foi paixão Maria Bonita Morreu abraçada com Lampião
Coro
Lá não existia amor nem também tinha tenura Lampião fazendo sempre suas aventuras
Coro
Ele tinha centenas de mortes era o rei lá do sertão e ainda escondia a poder de oração
Coro
Eu que adoro as mulheres vou dar minha opinião Lampião devia pagar o que fez lá no sertão e Maria Bonita não devia pagar não
