De Onde Vem o Baião

Gilberto Gil Gilberto Gil

Where Does Baião Come From

Under the mud of the dance floor
Breathes a substance sustained by a divine breath
That rises through our feet and suddenly launches
Through the accordion until the heart of the boy

Under the mud of the dance floor
It's as if God radiates a strong energy
That rises through the ground
And turns into waves of baião, xaxado, and xote
That sway the girl's hair braid, and what joy!

Where does baião come from?
It comes from under the mud of the ground
Where do xote and xaxado come from?
They come from under the mud of the ground
Where does hope come from, the substance
spreading the green of your eyes through the plantation?
It comes from under the mud of the ground
