Quixabeira

Love from afar, darling
It's better not to want me, darling
I don't have money, darling
But I know how to show affection too much
I went on a trip, passed through Barreiras
I went on a trip, passed through Barreiras
Tell my companions
It's me, Manoel de Isaías
On the way there I took sadness
On the way back I brought joy
I passed by Quixabeira
Mane gave me a run
And until today I ran
You don't act like the bird
That made a nest and flew away, flew away, flew away, flew away
But I stayed alone, without your affection, without your love
Oh, my Santo Amaro
I came to meet you
I came to meet you
Samba, from Santo Amaro
For us to learn, for us to learn
Hail, Santo Amaro da Purificação
Hail the Recôncavo
Long live Bahia
