Falsa Baiana
Geraldo Pereira
Fake Bahian
Bahian who enters the circle and just stands still
Doesn't sing, doesn't dance, doesn't move at all
Doesn't know how to drive the youth crazy
Bahian is the one who joins the samba no matter what
Who stirs, shakes, ties knots in the chairs
Leaving the crowd drooling
The fake Bahian when she joins the samba
No one minds, no one claps
No one opens the circle, no one shouts hooray
Hail Bahia, sir
But we like it when a Bahian
Sambas properly, from top to bottom
Rolls her eyes saying
I am a daughter of Saint Salvador
