Scott Walker - Maria Bethania Lyrics
Everybody knows that our cities were built to be destroyed
Everybody knows that our cities were built to be destroyed
You get to know it
You buy a flat
You hide behind the mat
Wrong before our love died
But I know she was born to do everything
Wrong before our love died
Maria Bethania please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting
Better better better better better
Bethania please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting better
The devil gave his soul to God
She has give out a soul to the devil but
The devil gave his soul to God.
Before the flood
After the flood
Before you can't see
She has given the soul to the devil
And bought a flat by the sea
She has given the soul to the devil
And bought a flat by the sea
Maria Bethania please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting better,
Better, better, better, better.
Bethania please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting better
Everybody knows that it's so hard to dig and get to the root
Everybody knows that it's so hard to dig and get to the root
You eat the food
You go ahead
You wake up on your head
But I love her face cause it has nothing to do with all I said
But I love her face cause it has nothing to do with all I said
Maria Bethania please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting better
Better, better, better, better
Bethania please send me a letter
I wish to know things are getting better

BEGUILING VOICE 😎 SUPERB SONG. EVERYTHING HE DOES IS TERRIFIC
Beautiful man beautiful voice ❤️ RIP Scott 💔 This is different but still outstanding 👏
Love it. A tribute to her too
engraçado.... diferente... mas sempre Scott! amo demais!
This should have been on the Proms
Dave Dawson with Jarvis singing it?
@Lesley Bracey Buena pregunta. No creo que Jarvis lo hubiera hecho tan bien como Scott. A Scott todo tipo de canciones le salían genial.
Thanks, merci, obrigado!
Wow, I love Scott Walker AND Caetano Veloso, but this is a total misfire, it sounds like a parody. He's trying to imitate Caetano and accidentally soundling like a bad Jamaican impression.
do you know the word syncretism?
I dont think so
No one loved parody more than that tropicalist guys and original record contains all that "nham nham nham" stuff, so what the hell are you talking about?
great song
I take to indicate the songs "Nine Out of Ten", "London London" and "It´s a long way" of Caetano...
Marvellous. He tries do sing like a Brazilian singing. He has an accent. It's a Brazilian song. That's why he sounds different. Being different doesn't mean it's bad. In fact it's terrific. I imagine some people dislike only because don't like when singers try new approaches. They want they to remain in the same box all the time.I love it!
Em uma entrevista,daquelas super interessantes que o caracterizam ,ele disse que "Maria Bethania" ,foi sugestão sua. E ele era um menininho.
Dayse Rizzo viajou na maionese
Dayse Rizzo está falando do Caetano, pessoal. Ele que sugeriu o nome da irmã, Maria Bethania, com base numa música antiga, da década de 40 eu acho
gente, presta atenção. Ela quis dizer que foi o próprio Scott quem sugeriu incluir a canção "Maria Bethania" no disco... affffffff
Dayse Rizzo Não entendi
@Virginia Abreu de Paula Sim, a sugestão do nome da irmã em homenagem à música homônima, sucesso com o Nelson Gonçalves, o irmão então tinha 4 anos.
OMG, this is magnificent! The wrong pronunciation of "Bethania" is incredible!
pronunciation is right!
what's wrong with it?
@paulo raposo Algumas vezes ele fala algo como "Bessânia", suavemente, talvez pelo nome ser grafado com Th ele às vezes fique em dúvida (em inglês muitas palavras com th podem ter som de s), porque quando ele canta "letter" ou "better" o som do t é nítido.
Lovely. Yes a tiny bit like Caetano. But Scott's voice is very peculiar and beautiful.i like both versions.
I'd prefer the original version
Why don't enjoy both? Why to compare?
Thanks for posting! Great version!
Here is Caetano Veloso's version: youtube.com/watch?v=VBnZT6STSHA&feature=related - Thank you Scott, for acquainting me with Caetano and his music!
I hardly recognize Scott here. Don't you have any further information? Is it a B-side of a single?
