Full lyrics
Eu de acarajé, gosto de caruru, gosto de vatapá
Eu gosto do peixe no coco, azeite de dendê
Gosto de abará
Eu gosto de subir ladeira, de descer ladeira
Todo o santo dia
Conterrâneo não precissa dizer
Já dá pra entender que eu sou da Bahia
-Conterrâneo não precissa dizer
Já dá pra entender que eu sou da Bahia
Longe, distante não consigo lhe esqueçer
Daquela festa do Bom Fim
Onde se brinca pra valer
Do caldinho de lambreta
No mercado todo dia
Eu me acabo de saudades
Seu não voltar pra Bahia
-Eu me acabo de saudades
Seu não voltar pra Bahia
Translation
As for acarajé, I like caruru, I like vatapá
I like fish in coconut, azeite de dendê
I like abará
I like going up hills, going down hills
Every single day
Fellow countryman doesn't need to say
It's already clear that I am from Bahia
-Fellow countryman doesn't need to say
It's already clear that I am from Bahia
Far away, distant, I can't forget you
Of that Bom Fim festival
Where one has a real good time
Of the lambreta broth
At the market every day
I am consumed by saudades
If I don't return to Bahia
-I am consumed by saudades
If I don't return to Bahia
