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
