Caymmi Mostra Ao Mundo o Que a Bahia e a Mangueira Tem
Ivo Meirelles
Caymmi Shows the World What Bahia and Mangueira Have
There's xinxim and acarajé,
Tamborim and samba in my step. (repeat)
Mangueira.
Mangueira sees in the sky of the orishas
The pink horizon, in the green of the sea
Dawn dresses in fantasy
To celebrate Caymmi and old Bahia, oh, oh, oh.
What splendor
In the churches, hymns of praise ring out
And through the grounds of magic
The echo announces a new day.
In this fascinating land
Capoeira has made its home,
The world is enchanted
By the songs that make you dream. (repeat)
Full moon... full moon
Take the raft to the sea.
Oh! mermaid,
How beautiful is your song.
Of the stars, the most beautiful is in Gantois.
Mangueira, cradle of samba, Caymmi's inspiration
That lives in my heart, Bahia, sacred land
Of Iemanjá and Iansã, Mangueira, super champion.
