They say that all the sadness there is in BahiaContam que toda tristeza que tem na Bahia
Born from brown eyes wet from the seaNasceu de uns olhos morenos molhados de mar
I don't know if it's a sand story or if it's fantasyNão sei se é conto de areia ou se é fantasia
That the light of the lamp illuminates for us to tellQue a luz da candeia alumia pra gente contar

A brunette day adorned with roses and laceUm dia morena enfeitada de rosas e rendas
He opened his smile girl and asked to danceAbriu seu sorriso moça e pediu pra dançar
The night lent the stars embroidered in silverA noite emprestou as estrelas bordadas de prata
And the waters of Amaralina were drops of moonlightE as águas de Amaralina eram gotas de luar

Full of promise, it was justCheio de promessa, era só

Full of promise, it was justCheio de promessa, era só

Who sent your loveQuem foi que mandou o seu amor
Playing like a canoeistSe fazer de canoeiro
The wind that rolls in the palmsO vento que rola nas palmas
Drag the sailboatArrasta o veleiro
And takes it to the middle of the waters of IemanjáE leva pro meio das águas de Iemanjá
And the brave master wandersE o mestre valente vagueia
Looking at the sand without being able to reachOlhando pra areia sem poder chegar

Goodbye LoveAdeus, amor

Goodbye, my love, don't wait for meAdeus, meu amor, não me espera
Because I'm already leavingPorque eu já vou me embora
For the kingdom that hides treasuresPro reino que esconde tesouros
From my ladyDe minha senhora

Unravel shell necklacesDesfia colares de conchas
For life to passPra vida passar
And stop looking at sailboatsE deixa de olhar pros veleiros
Goodbye my love I won't come backAdeus meu amor eu não vou mais voltar
