Saudade da Bahia

Ah, how much I miss Bahia
Ah, if only I had listened to what mom used to say
Well, don't make your mother worried
We do what the heart dictates
But this world is made of wickedness and illusion

Ah, if I had listened, today I wouldn't suffer
Ah, this longing inside my chest
Ah, if longing is having some flaw
At least I deserve the right
To have someone to confess to
Put yourself in my place

And see how an unhappy man suffers
Who had to vent
Telling everyone what no one says
See what a situation
And see how a poor heart suffers
Pity those who believe
In glory and money to be happy
