Full lyrics
Vou embora daqui
Já me decidi
Não tem hora nem dia
Eu vou pra jacobina
Aqui vivo triste
Não tenho alegria
Eu vou pra Jacobina
Quero ver de perto os seus funerais
E rever a morena
Que distante dela eu não tenho paz
Vou levando saudade de todos aqueles que gostam de mim
E pedir proteção a mamãe menininha
E senhor do bonfim
Translation
I'm leaving here
I've already decided
There's no hour or day
I'm going to Jacobina
Here I live sad
I have no joy
I'm going to Jacobina
I want to see its funerals up close
And see the brunette again
That far from her I have no peace
I'm taking longing for all those who like me
And ask for protection from little mother
And Lord of Bonfim
