No Tabuleiro da Baiana (feat. Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil e Maria Bethânia)
João Gilberto
On the Baiana Board (feat. Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and Maria Bethânia)
On the Bahian board there is
Vatapá, hi, caruru
Mungunza, hi
There's umbu for yo-yo
If I ask you give it to me
Your heart
Your love of iaiá?
In the heart of Bahia there is
Seduction, hi, canjerê
Illusion, hi
Candomblé, for you
I swear to God
By the Lord of Bonfim
I want you, little Bahian girl
All for me
But then
What will become of us two?
Your love is so fleeting, deceiving
I've already done everything
I even went to a canjerê
To be happy
I gathered my rags with you
And then
It will be another illusion
In love who rules
It's the heart
On the Bahian board there is
Vatapá, hi, caruru
Mungunza, hi
There's umbu for yo-yo
If I ask you give it to me (I give it to you!)
Your heart
Your love of iaiá?
In the heart of Bahia there is also
Seduction, hi, canjerê
Illusion, hi
Candomblé, for you
I swear to God
By the Lord of Bonfim
I want you, little Bahian girl
All for me
But then
What will become of us two?
Your love is so fleeting, deceiving
I've already done everything
I even went to a canjerê
To be happy
My rags join with you
And then
It will be another illusion
And in love who rules
It's the heart
On the Bahian board there is
Vatapá, hi, caruru
Mungunza, hi
There's umbu for yo-yo
If I ask you give it to me (I give it!)
Your heart
Your love of iaiá?
In the heart of Bahia there is
Seduction, hi, canjerê
Illusion, hi
Candomblé, for you
I swear to God
By the Lord of Bonfim
I want you, little Bahian girl
All for me
But then
What will become of us two?
Your love is so fleeting, deceiving
I've already done everything
I even went to a canjerê
To be happy
I gathered my rags with you
And then
It will be another illusion
In love who rules
It's the heart
