Full lyrics

Visitarei a Bahia do meu santo salvador

Encontrarei alegria muita paz e muito amor

Rezarei uma novena na igreja do bonfim

Pra que o nosso padroeiro não se esqueça de mim

Irei a Itapuã, a velha praça da sé

Tomarei banho nas águas da bela Abaeté


Seguirei meu bom Jesus junto a vossa procissão

Entrarei na capoeira no ato conceição

O elevador Lacerda quero subir e descer

Quero comer os quitutes no azeite de dendê

No Largo do Pelourinho termino a minha visita

Com um beijinho na boca da baiana mais bonita

Translation

I will visit Bahia of my holy savior

I will find joy, much peace, and much love

I will pray a novena in the Bonfim church

So that our patron saint does not forget me

I will go to Itapuã, the old Praça da Sé

I will bathe in the waters of beautiful Abaeté


I will follow my good Jesus along your procession

I will enter capoeira at the Conceição act

I want to go up and down the Lacerda elevator

I want to eat the delicacies in dendê oil

In Largo do Pelourinho, I finish my visit

With a little kiss on the lips of the most beautiful Bahian woman
