Full lyrics
Se eu tivesse asa, ainda hoje eu ia
Matar minha saudade, la na terra da bahia
Mãe menininha rezando, pra gente no cantua.
Dar um abraço em caimmy, ouvir cantiga do mar.
Bahia do meu futuro, bahia do meu passado.
Bahia mãe da suas filhas
Bahia de jorge amado
Quero voltar pra bahia
Vê capoeira no ar
Minha bahia mande logo me buscar
Translation
If I had wings, I would still go today
To kill my longing, there in the land of Bahia
Mother little girl praying, for people in the cantua.
Give a hug to Caimmy, hear the song of the sea.
Bahia of my future, Bahia of my past.
Bahia mother of her daughters
Bahia of Jorge Amado
I want to go back to Bahia
See capoeira in the air
My Bahia send for me soon
