Full lyrics

Bahia, Bahia

Bahia de São Salvador

Na praia de bom Jesus

Onde arranjei meu amor


Barra do Paraguaçu

Tem porto de navegação

E em Bom Jesus dos pobres

A praia da contemplação

E na bica da cascata

O banho da consolação


Não pense só no trabalho

Não tenha tanta maldade

Conheça Bom Jesus dos pobres

O reino da felicidade


Admiro os pescadores

Dia e noite a pescar

De barco, jangada e canoa

Jogando rede no mar

Homem, mulher e menino

Que a vida traça o destino

A sorte Deus é quem dá

Translation

Bahia, Bahia

Bahia of São Salvador

On the beach of Bom Jesus

Where I found my love


Barra do Paraguaçu

Has a navigation port

And in Bom Jesus dos Pobres

The beach of contemplation

And in the spout of the waterfall

The bath of consolation


Don't just think about work

Don't have so much malice

Get to know Bom Jesus dos Pobres

The kingdom of happiness


I admire the fishermen

Day and night fishing

By boat, raft and canoe

Casting nets in the sea

Man, woman and child

That life traces the destiny

God is the one who gives luck
