Full lyrics
O Vento sopra,
O coqueiro embalança
Lembro o tempo de criança
Lá em Periperi
Tenho saudade de minha querida infância
Guardo tudo na lembrança
Vou ficando por aqui
Deus me deu
Quase tudo que eu queria
Até a felicidade de ser filho da Bahia
Há quanto tempo não vejo minha cidade
Vou matar minha saudade
Tá quase chegando o dia
Tem muita gente que lamenta o que eu sofri
Outros pensam diferente
E comentam que eu morri
Mas agradeço tudo que deus fez por mim
Aos homens da medicina
E ao Senhor do Bonfim
Translation
The wind blows,
The coconut tree sways
I remember my childhood
There in Periperi
I miss my dear childhood
I keep everything in my memory
I'm staying around here
God gave me
Almost everything I wanted
Even the happiness of being a son of Bahia
How long has it been since I saw my city
I'm going to kill my longing
The day is almost here
There are many people who regret what I suffered
Others think differently
And they comment that I died
But I thank everything that God did for me
To the men of medicine
And to the Lord of Bonfim
