Full lyrics
Alo Maria, Alô Maria
Olha vocês que nasceram na Bahia
Me levem para visitar
Pra comer acarajé
Abará e vatapá
Capoeira no terreiro
Quero ver os baianos ensinar
Tenho medo do petróleo
Não me deixem afogar
Me leve pra itapuã
Pra tomar banho de mar
Translation
Hello Maria, Hello Maria
Look, you who were born in Bahia
Take me to visit
To eat acarajé
Abará and vatapá
Capoeira in the yard
I want to see the baianos teach
I'm afraid of the oil
Don't let me drown
Take me to Itapuã
To take a sea bath
