Triste Bahia

Sad Bahia
Oh, how different you are and I am
From our old state

I see you poor
You see me, committed
I see you rich
But you see me, abundant

Sad Bahia
Oh, how different
The merchant machine touched you
Who has entered your wide bar
Has been exchanging me and has exchanged
So much business and so many merchants

Sad
Oh, how different
Sad

Pastinha has been to Africa
Pastinha has been to Africa
To show capoeira from Brazil

I am so tired of living here on Earth
My mother, I'm going to the Moon
Me and my wife

Let's build a little ranch
All made of thatch
My mother, I'm going to the Moon
And let God's will be done

Sad
Oh, how different
Hey, the rooster crowed
Hey, the rooster crowed, my friend
Hey, cock-a-doodle-doo
Hey, cock-a-doodle-doo, my friend
Hey, let's go away
Hey, let's go away, my friend
Hey, around the world
Hey, around the world, my friend
Hey, sad Bahia
Hey, sad Bahia, my friend
White flag hoisted on a strong pole
White flag hoisted on a strong pole

The waterfall steamboat no longer sails
The waterfall steamboat no longer sails
The waterfall steamboat no longer sails on the sea
The waterfall steamboat no longer sails on the sea
The waterfall steamboat no longer sails on the sea

Foot in, foot out
Who has small feet will go away
Foot in, foot out
Who has small feet will go away
Foot in, foot out
Who has small feet will go away

Oh, purest virgin mother
Oh, purest virgin mother
Oh, purest virgin mother

White flag hoisted on a strong pole
