Bahia, forró e folia

Adelmario Coelho Adelmario Coelho

Bahia, forró and revelry

Every Brazilian loves revelry
For Brazil was baptized in Bahia
Every Brazilian people loves revelry
For Brazil was baptized in Bahia
(repeat)

I am the Bahia of acarajé
Of afoxé, of candomblé
Of the vibe behind the trio
Every word from a book by Jorge Amado
I am a reggae-infused xote by Gilberto Gil
I am capoeira played in Pelourinho
In a beat by Carlinhos
I am the sound of the berimbau
I am the mix of Chiclete com Banana
I am I don't know how many weeks
Of revelry and carnival
I am the cool forró of Trio Nordestino
Cheering up the June month
From the backcountry to the coast

Every Brazilian loves revelry
For Brazil was baptized in Bahia
(repeat)

I am the Lagoa do Abaeté
In the middle of Praça da Sé
I am Caetano at a festival
I am the sea on a jangada by Caymmi
I am the sound of the sublime voices of Bethânia and Gal
I am Ivete, Olodum and Ruy Barbosa
I am Moraes in verse and prose
I am Raul in high spirits
Elevator operator of Elevador Lacerda
Come see that you inherit all the original view
I am a market vendor at Mercado Modelo
I who sell with great care, etc and so on

Every Brazilian loves revelry
For Brazil was baptized in Bahia
(repeat)

Here I leave all my axé
You already know how it is
My people, my place
Long live Bahía de Todos os Santos
In every corner, I start to sing
I am the Bahian with a wide smile
In the open-air parties, today and tomorrow
I am the water from the washing at Ribeira
From Bonfim, Rio Vermelho, Itapuã
In Salvador I am a soteropolitan
And in Bahia I am a Bahian
Yesterday, today and tomorrow

Every Brazilian loves revelry
For Brazil was baptized in Bahia
(repeat)
