Full lyrics
Eu sou filho da Bahia
Eu gosto de candomblé
Samba de roda e capoeira
Maculele e afoxé
Lá na conceição da praia
Tem tudo que a gente quer
Vatapá e caruru, abará e acarajé
Tudo isso já havia
Desde os tempos de Thomé
Os índios faziam festa
Com a ordem do pajé
Você chegando na Bahia
Tem que ir no candomblé
Translation
I am a son of Bahia
I like candomblé
Samba de roda and capoeira
Maculele and afoxé
There on Conceição da Praia
There is everything we want
Vatapá and caruru, abará and acarajé
All of this already existed
Since the times of Thomé
The Indians had parties
With the order of the pajé
You arriving in Bahia
You have to go to candomblé
