Full lyrics

Hoje é a véspera, amanhã é o dia

Quem não dorme sou eu Maria

Vou mimbora pra Ponta de Pedra

Saudade eu tem da Bahia


Deixo a cidade alta, da terra de Salvador

Muito embora com saudade de Maria, meu amor

Saudade do acarajé, e também do abará

Porque em Ponta de Pedra, isso não vou encontrar

Eu vou com tanta saudade que até dá vontade de chorar


Hoje é a véspera, amanhã é o dia

Quem não dorme sou eu Maria

Vou mimbora pra Ponta de Pedra

Saudade eu tem da Bahia

Translation

Today is the eve, tomorrow is the day

The one who doesn't sleep is me, Maria

I'm going away to Ponta de Pedra

I yearn for Bahia


I leave the upper city, from the land of Salvador

Even though with deep longing for Maria, my love

Longing for acarajé, and also for abará

Because in Ponta de Pedra, I won't find that

I leave with so much longing that it even makes me want to cry


Today is the eve, tomorrow is the day

The one who doesn't sleep is me, Maria

I'm going away to Ponta de Pedra

I yearn for Bahia
