Bahia Com H [English translation]

Excuse me, excuse me, Sir

Excuse me, let me through

I’m the lover of the rich Bahia

To know your secret

I will became Baiano too

Excuse me, let me enjoy myself just a bit

I’m not going to rob Bahia, don’t worry

Oh! A poet wrote that a more beautiful land doesn’t exist

And that was a long time ago when people still wrote Bahia with an H

Let me see, with my own eyes

Eyes of a nostalgic lover

My dear Bahia

Let me see the Sapateiro Charriou*, Barroquinha Calçada, Tabuão,

I’m an old friend that happily returns to your open arms, Bahia!

I’m a poet and I don’t want to be far away from your magic

Let me see your remains, churches,

Your saints, hills,

And mountains just like on the postcards

Let me pray to the Senhor de Bonfim**

Salve! Holy Bahia

Immortal, Bahia of my dreams

I am so happy

To know that Bahia is Brazil’s

Salve! Holy and immortal Bahia, Bahia of my dreams!
