Lá Vem A Baiana

João Gilberto João Gilberto

Here Comes the Bahian Woman

Here comes the Bahian woman
In a lace skirt, adorned sandals
Inviting me to samba
But I won't go
Here comes the Bahian woman
Covered in beads, stepping on tiptoes
Thinking I'm her yo-yo
But I'm not
Here comes the Bahian woman
Showing her charms, talking about saints
Saying she's the daughter of the Lord of Bonfim
But towards me

You can cast your spell but I won't go
You can invoke your saint but I won't go
You can wait sitting down, Bahian, but I won't go

I won't because I can't resist temptation
If she sambas, I'll suffer
Because this devil sambaing is more woman
And if I let her, she'll do as she pleases
I won't, I won't, I won't
Not even tied up, because I know
If she sambas, I'll suffer
