Falsa Baiana

Gal Costa Gal Costa

Fake Baiana

The Baiana who joins the samba just stands still
Doesn't dance, doesn't move
Doesn't shake it, nothing at all
Doesn't know how to drive the crowd wild

Baiana is the one who jumps into the samba
In any way she can
Who shakes it, stirs it
Ties up the chairs
Leaving the crowd drooling

The Baiana who joins the samba just stands still
Doesn't dance, doesn't move
Doesn't shake it, nothing at all
Doesn't know how to drive the crowd wild

Baiana is the one who jumps into the samba
In any way she can
Who shakes it, stirs it
Ties up the chairs
Leaving the crowd drooling

The fake Baiana when she joins the samba
No one cares
No one claps
No one opens the circle
No one shouts: Yay!
Long live Bahia, man

But we love it
When a Baiana dances right
From top to bottom
Rolling her eyes
Saying: I'm a daughter of São Salvador

The Baiana who joins the samba just stands still

Doesn't shake it, nothing at all
Doesn't know how to drive the crowd wild

It's that Baiana is the one who jumps into the samba

Who shakes it, stirs it
Ties up the chairs
Leaving the crowd drooling

No one shouts: Yay!
Long live Bahia

But we love it
When a Baiana dances right
From top to bottom

Saying: I'm a daughter of São Salvador
