No Tabuleiro da Baiana (part. Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil e Maria Bethânia)
João Gilberto
On the Baiana's Tray (feat. Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and Maria Bethânia)
On the Bahian woman's tray there is
Vatapá, oi, caruru
Mungunzá
There's umbu for yo-yo
If I ask, will you give it to me?
your heart
Your love, my dear?
In the heart of Bahian woman there is
Seduction, hey, canjerê
Illusion, hi
Candomblé, for you
I swear to God
By the Lord of Bonfim
I want you, little girl from Bahia
All for me
And then
What will become of us both?
Your love is so fleeting, so deceptive
I've already done everything
I even went to a canjerê
To be happy
I gathered my belongings with you
And then
It will be just another illusion
In love, who governs?
It's the heart
On the Bahian woman's tray there is
Vatapá, oi, caruru
Mungunzá
There's umbu for yo-yo
If I ask, will you give it to me? (I'll give it!)
your heart
Your love, my dear?
In the heart of Bahia, there is also
Seduction, hey, canjerê
Illusion, hi
Candomblé, for you
I swear to God
By the Lord of Bonfim
I want you, little girl from Bahia
All for me
And then
What will become of us both?
Your love is so fleeting, so deceptive
I've already done everything
I even went to a canjerê
To be happy
My rags will join with yours
And then
It will be just another illusion
And in love, who governs?
It's the heart
