Saudade da Bahia

Missing Bahia

Oh, oh, how I miss Bahia
Oh, if I listened to what mom said
Well, don't let your mother get upset
We do what our heart tells us
But this world is made of evil and illusion

Oh, if I listened today I wouldn't suffer
Oh, this longing inside my chest
Oh, if missing someone is having some kind of defect
I at least deserve the right
To have someone I can confess to

Oh, oh, how I miss Bahia
Oh, if I listened to what mom said
Well, don't let your mother get upset
We do what our heart tells us
But this world is made of evil and illusion

Oh, if I listened today I wouldn't suffer
Oh, this longing inside my chest
Oh, if missing someone is having some kind of defect
I at least deserve the right
To have someone I can confess to

Put yourself in my shoes
And see how an unhappy man suffers
Who had to vent
Telling everyone what no one says

Look at this situation
And see how a poor heart suffers
Poor those who believe
In glory and money to be happy

Oh, if I listened today I wouldn't suffer
Oh, this longing inside my chest
Oh, if missing someone is having some kind of defect
I at least deserve the right
To have someone I can confess to
