Salvador Da Bahia

Just a Bahian smile for us to understand
Why Brazil was born first here
In this place...
Just a Bahian seasoning for us
to taste the flavor of this people who laugh
at sadness instead of crying...

Capoeira, ganzá, berimbau, vatapá and acarajé..
Jorge Amado, Zumbi, Castro Alves,
Caetano and Caribé...
From the other side of the world, people come to see
What is this thing called 'smile,
You are in Bahia, my King!'
May God's grace embrace you...
May the Water of life water you with love...
May the Holy of holies give you peace... Bahia!
May Master Jesus be your Savior!

Just a smile and a Bahian seasoning for us
to understand... what Bahia has!
