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
