Flower Of Bahia (flor da Bahia)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Start with the dream
on the wings of floating promises
the journey begins
There's the lips that taste of cocoa
and the soft tropic skin
you're not safe at all
anyone can fall to the spell of Salvador
Flor da Bahia
É a paixão da minha vida
Quando olho em redor
A cidade construída
Misturando suor
Quanta história então
De sangue e paixão
Sobre o chão de Salvador
Back in Bahia
Clove and cinnamon and jasmin perfume
Back in Bahia
sweet Brazilian voices call you
Back in Bahia
mysteries the heart returns to
want to stay one more day
holy bay Salvador
Flor da Bahia
É flor que ninguém arranca
Quando o amor é maior
Pele escura, pele branca
Flor da pele é uma só
Corpos que se dão
Mais sementes são
Sobre o chão de Salvador
Na Bahia
Grão de amor é forte medra
E eu sou flor da Bahia
Semeada em chão de pedra
Flor da Bahia
Que oferece a primavera
Desse grão
Dessa flor
Desse chão
Desse amor
