Onde o Rio É Mais Baiano
Caetano Veloso
Where the River is Most Bahian
In Bahia
The first station of Brazil
Seeing Mangueira, in its entirety, it was seen
Its true face was displayed
What joy
It wasn't in vain that she sent out
The Ciatas to bring samba to Rio
(Because the myth arose in this way)
And now we are here
On the other side of the mirror
With our hearts in our hands
Thinking of Jamelão in Rio Vermelho
Every year, every year
At Iemanjá's party
Present on the second of February
Us here and him there
This confirms that Mangueira
Is where the River is most Bahian
Where the River is most Bahian
Where the River is most Bahian
Where the River is most
