Eu Vim da Bahia

I came
I came from Bahia to sing
I came from Bahia to tell
So many beautiful things it has

In Bahia, which is my place
It has my land, it has my sky, it has my sea
Bahia that lives to say
How to live
Where people have nothing to eat

But they don't die of hunger
Because in Bahia there is Mother Yemanja
On the other side, the Lord of Bonfim
Who helps the Bahian to live
To samba, to sing for real
To die of joy

In the street party, in the samba circle
In the moonlit night, in the song of the sea
I came from Bahia
But I'll go back there
I came from Bahia
But someday I'll go back there
