Bahia Com H
Caetano Veloso
Bahia With H
Excuse me, excuse me, my sir
Excuse me, excuse me, for yoyô
I am a lover of the beautiful Bahia, however
To know its secret, I will be Bahian too
Excuse me, to like just a little bit
I won't steal Bahia, have mercy!
Ah! A poet once said there is no land more beautiful
That's old and from the time when we wrote Bahia with H!
Let me see
With my eyes of a nostalgic lover The Bahia of my heart
Let me see
Baixa do Sapateiro Charriot, Barroquinha, Calçada, Taboão!
I am a friend who happily returns to your open arms, Bahia!
I am a poet and I don't want to stay this far from your magic!
Let me see
Your townhouses, churches, your saints, slopes and hills like a postcard
Excuse me to pray to the Lord of Bonfim
Hail! The immortal Holy Bahia, Bahia of a thousand dreams!
I am happy in life to know that Bahia is Brazil!
