Baiana (part. Caetano Veloso)

Baiana, you messed me up
I went crazy for your nagô color, your guide, it is
Your laughter is Olodum playing in Pelô
FEMADUM day, drum, joy
You remind me of Malê, taste for real
Dike of Tororó, Empire Oyó
Descending from Orum, beautiful Oxum
Whose equal there is nowhere else

The white sand of Lagoa de Abaeté
Is in your smile, my judgment loses its ground
The mermaid's song comes nicely, I'm clueless, it is
Loss, little black girl, I get high in this axé

My head went crazy
Just with that little kiss on the corner of the mouth
Crazy, crazy, crazy
Just with a kiss, with a kiss

My head went crazy
Just with that little kiss on the corner of the mouth
Crazy, crazy, crazy
Just with a kiss, with a kiss

Baiana, it's good to have you here
In this Salvador, Salvador Dali
Bahia by the hand of Mestre Didi
From the Sun darkening the tone of Kariri
It's the Yoruba myth, beautiful, can you dig it
Water from Amaralina, drop of moonlight
Ocular delight, passing rite
Reminded me of Clementina singing

February 2nd, day of the Queen
Who for some is white, for us is little black
Like Our Lady, my patron saint
Popcorn bath, seashell necklace
Pagodeira in line from Ribeira (hey), cajazeira
Lowland the Tube, all strong and steady on the slope
A lot of color, reminded me of Raimundo de Oliveira
My heart, your position, the first

My head went crazy
Just with that little kiss on the corner of the mouth
Crazy, crazy, crazy
Just with a kiss, with a kiss

My head went crazy
Just with that little kiss on the corner of the mouth
Crazy, crazy, crazy
Just with a kiss, with a kiss
