Lá Vem A Baiana
Dorival Caymmi
Here Comes the Baiana
Here comes the Baiana
With a full skirt, embroidered sandals
Inviting me to samba
But I won't go
Here comes the Baiana
Covered in beads, stepping on tiptoes
Thinking I'm her toy
But I won't go
Here comes the Baiana
Showing her charms, talking about the saints
Saying she's the daughter of Senhor do Bonfim
But, towards me?
You can cast your spell, but I won't go
You can invoke your saint, but I won't go
You can wait sitting down, Baiana, but I won't go
I won't go because I can't resist temptation
If she sambas
I'll suffer
This devil sambaing is more woman
And if I let her, she'll do as she pleases
I won't, I won't, I won't
Not even tied up because I know
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
