Dans Les Rues De Bahia Lyrics in English by Dalida
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dans Les Rues De Bahia by Dalida from Italian to English.
Va dans les rues de Bahia
Go into the streets of Bahia
Et là-bas tu verras
And there you'll see
Combien la vie est belle
How beautiful life is
Va sur le sable doré
Go onto the golden sand
Rêver sous les palmiers
To dream under the palm trees
À l'amour qui t'appelle
Of the love that calls you
Vois passer sur l'océan
See passing on the ocean
Les grands voiliers tout blancs
The big all-white sailboats
Qui viennent des Antilles
That come from the Antilles
Vois dans le ciel orangé
See in the orange sky
Le soleil se cacher
The sun hiding
Dans le regard des filles
In the girls' eyes
Au pays de la samba
In the land of samba
Au pays des amoureux
In the land of lovers
Pour la fête du tabac
For the tobacco festival
Va danser dans la nuit bleue
Go dance in the blue night
Va dans les rues de Bahia
Go into the streets of Bahia
Et là-bas tu verras
And there you'll see
Combien la vie est belle
How beautiful life is
Dans la foule bariolée
In the colorful crowd
On voit tourbillonner
You see twirling
Les jupons de dentelle
The lace petticoats
Au rythme de la tumba
To the rhythm of the tumba
Scandé de cris de joie
Punctuated with cries of joy
L'amour mène la danse
Love leads the dance
Et dans le soir qui descend
And in the falling evening
On a le cœur battant
You have a beating heart
Car la fête commence
Because the party begins
Au pays de la samba
In the land of samba
Au pays des amoureux
In the land of lovers
Pour la fête du tabac
For the tobacco festival
Va danser dans la nuit bleue
Go dance in the blue night
Va dans les rues de Bahia
Go into the streets of Bahia
Et là-bas tu verras
And there you'll see
Combien la vie est belle
How beautiful life is
Va une fille à ton bras
Go with a girl on your arm
Et ne résiste pas
And don't resist
À l'amour qui t'appelle
Of the love that calls you
Au pays de la samba
In the land of samba
Au pays des gens heureux
In the land of happy people
Le soleil se lèvera
The sun will rise
Sur un couple d'amoureux
Over a couple of lovers
Sur un couple d'amoureux
Over a couple of lovers
Sur un couple d'amoureux
Over a couple of lovers
