Eu Vim da Bahia

I came, I came from Bahia to sing
I came from Bahia to tell
So many beautiful things it has
In Bahia, which is my place
It has my land, it has my sky, it has my sea

Bahia that lives to say
How to live
Where people have nothing to eat
But don't die of hunger
Because in Bahia there is Mother Yemanja
On the other side, the Lord of Bonfim
Who helps the Bahian to live

To sing, to samba for real
To die of joy
In the street party, in the samba circle
In the moonlit night, in the song of the sea

I came from Bahia, but I'll go back there
I came from Bahia, but someday I'll go back there
