Bahia des pêcheurs des marins
Bahia des filles du port
Bahia de tous les saints
Bahia de Saint-Salvador
C'est là qu'un beau jour a commencé le Brésil
Et sa première capitale
C'est là que l'Afrique vit encore en exil
Et parle la langue du Portugal
Bahia des pêcheurs des marins
Bahia des filles du port
Bahia de tous les saints
Bahia de Saint-Salvador
C'est là que les hommes savent encore se battre
A pieds nus ou à mains nues ou au couteau
Pour les beaux yeux d'une jolie mulâtre
Au risque d'y laisser la peau
Bahia des pêcheurs des marins
Bahia des filles du port
Bahia de tous les saints
Bahia de Saint-Salvador
J'ai écouté chanter les fils de Gandhi
J'ai vu danser les filles de Xango
C'est là que j'ai retrouvé le paradis
Du côté de chez Jorge Amado
Bahia des pêcheurs des marins
Bahia des filles du port
Bahia de tous les saints
Bahia de Saint-Salvador
Comme ma chanson n'était pas terminée
Je l'ai emportée avec moi
Je reviendrai un jour te la fredonner
Sur la plage d'Itapoa
Bahia des pêcheurs des marins
Bahia des filles du port
Bahia de tous les saints
Bahia de Saint-Salvador
