Triste bahia, quão dessemelhante
Sad bahia, how dissimilar
Estás e estou do nosso antigo estado
You are and I'm from our old state
Pobre te vejo a ti, tu a mim empenhado
Poor i see you, you commit to me
Rica te vejo eu, já tu a mim abundante
Rich i see you I, you've plentiful me
Triste bahia, quão dessemelhante
Sad bahia, how dissimilar
A ti tocou-te a máquina mercante
You touched the merchant machine
Que em tua larga barra tem entrado
That in your wide bar has entered
A mim vem me trocando e tem trocado
He's been changing me and he's changing
Tanto negócio e tanto negociante
Both business and so much dealer
Triste, quão dessemelhante, triste
Sad, how dissimilar, sad
Pastinha já foi à áfrica
Pastinha has already been to Africa
Pastinha já foi à áfrica
Pastinha has already been to Africa
Pra mostrar capoeira do brasil
To show capoeira from Brazil
Eu já vivo tão cansado
I already live so tired
De viver aqui na terra
To live here on earth
Minha mãe, eu vou pra lua
My mother, I'm going to the moon
Eu mais a minha mulher
I plus my wife
Vamos fazer um ranchinho
Let's make a little ranch
Tudo feito de sapê, minha mãe eu vou pra lua
All made of sapê, my mother I'm going to the moon
E seja o que deus quiser
And whatever God wants
Triste, quão dessemelhante
Sad, how dissimilar
Ê, ô, galo canta
it's, oh, sings
O galo cantou, camará
Rooster sang, camará
Ê, cocorocô, ê cocorocô, camará
E, cocorocô, it's cocorocô, camará
Ê, vamo-nos embora, ê vamo-nos embora camará
so let's go, we're going to go
Ê, pelo mundo afora, ê pelo mundo afora camará
And, all over the world, it's all over the world
Ê, triste bahia, ê, triste bahia, camará
E, sad bahia, e, triste bahia, camará
Bandeira branca enfiada em pau forte
White flag tucked into strong cock
Afoxé leî, leî, leô
Afoxé leî, leî, leô
Bandeira branca, bandeira branca enfiada em pau forte
White flag, white flag tucked into strong cock
O vapor da cachoeira não navega mais no mar
Waterfall steam no longer sails into the sea
Triste recôncavo, quão dessemelhante
Sad recôncavo, how dissimilar
Maria pé no mato é hora
Mary standing in the woods it's time
Arriba a saia e vamo-nos embora
Put your skirt down and we'll leave
Pé dentro, pé fora, quem tiver pé pequeno vai embora
Foot in, foot outside, who has small foot goes away
Virgem mãe puríssima
Virgin pure mother
Bandeira branca enfiada em pau forte
White flag tucked into strong cock
Trago no peito a estrela do norte
I carry in my chest the northern star
Bandeira branca enfiada em pau forte
White flag tucked into strong cock
Bandeira…
