Bahia, My Black

Bahia1, my black
How will it be
If your arrow hits the path and arrives there?
And the straight line curve
If it goes beyond that blue black that mourns you
The sea, the sea?
Cook this song,
Buy the equipment and know how to use it
Sell your talent and know how to charge, how to make a profit
Insist on what is beautiful
And the world will see
You return laughing to the place
That is yours in the blue globe
Queen of the South Atlantic
 
Hey! Bahia, mythical fountain, enchanted
Hey! Expand your axé2, hide nothing
Your singing of joy echoes far and wide, in time and space
Queen of the Atlantic
 
I call you Lady
Opô, Afonjá
Eros, Dona Lina, Agostinho and Edgar
I call you Little Girl of Gantois
Candolina, Marta, Didi, Dodô and Osmar 3
In the romantic vein
Your new world
The world will know
And what is hidden deep within will emerge4
And the Mediterranean and forest voice
Throw far beyond the civilisation now in a boreal tone
Queen of the southern Atlantic

Speak to Him





You're a friend and I know it,
I trust you and therefore
if I ask you a favor,
you shouldn't say no,
you mustn't say no to me.
 

Then speak to him,
you who know everything about me.
Tell him that yesterday
I went out with you.
 

Speak to him,
you know what I did.
Please tell him
that I never lied to him.
 

Yes, I know you're sorry,
but it's your fault that he
this evening
didn't show up with me
and you already understood why.
 

And so speak to him,
make peace between us
and don't tell me,
don't tell me that you can't.
 

Oh, speak to him,
you know what I did.
Please tell him
that I never lied to him.
 

Whoa, whoa, whoa, speak to him,
you who know everything about me.
Tell him that yesterday
I went out with you.
 

Speak to him,
you know what I did.
Please tell him
that I never lied to him!

Tonight You'll Hear a Song





Tonight you'll hear a song,
a song you already know.
The woman you no longer love will sing it,
the woman who will leave you but who won't cry.
 

A song that will tell you about me,
that will stay with you throughout your life,
a song be will leave a mark in your heart
that will never be erased.
 

Tonight I'll relive for the last time
these moments that I'll no longer find
but when I disappear and only you are found,
you'll cry because you'll remember.
 

A song that will tell you about me,
that will be with you throughout your life,
a song that will leave a mark in your heart
that will never be erased.
 

A song that will tell you about me,
that will be with you throughout your life,
a song that will leave a mark in your heart
that will never be erased.

A Reflection in the Water





It was
a moonlit evening,
under the bridge the river slept
and a woman sang.
 

Clear,
the water slipped away
and the image of your smile
the river mirrored.
 

A reflection in the water,
a reflection in the water,
a reflection in the water,
the current passed
but nothing remained,
but I inside my mind
still see you.
 

It was
a moonlit evening,
your voice spoke
and the river silently listened.
 

And it was,
almost a year has passed
but every evening I return to look
into the river to dream.
 

A reflection in the water,
a reflection in the water,
the current passed
but nothing has changed,
the water slowly stops,
I still see you.
 

A reflection in the water,
a reflection in the water,
the current passed
but nothing has changed,
the water slowly stops,
I still see you.

A Family





Evening will come,
you'll return home
and without a word, you'll sit at the table
in your place as always.
 

Then when you have finished,
you'll tell us kids:
leave me alone and glue your eyes
for an hour on the newspaper.
 

But read inside the eyes
of mom what is there.
Notice that she wants
to talk a bit with you.
 

You cannot call life
this life you give her
if you have nothing left
to share with her.
 

I know that you are not wicked,
that deep down you love her.
Don't make her pay for the usual bitterness that
life gives you.
 

You think about your hopes
of a long time ago
starting when you wanted
to become who knows who.
 

But look that you are
someone at least among us,
you're not mistaken,
life is precisely this here.
 

When you come home,
bring a smile with you,
then we'll talk together, that way we'll become
at last a family,
a true family,
a true family.
