Eu vim da Bahia contar
I came from Bahia to tell
Tanta coisa bonita que tem

Tem meu chão, tem meu céu, tem meu mar

Onde a gente não tem pra comer

Na festa de rua, no samba de roda
At the street party, at the samba de roda
Na noite de lua, no canto do mar
On the moonlit night, in the corner of the sea
Eu vim da Bahia

Mais algum dia eu volto pra lá

E se hoje ele é branco na poesia
