Bahia
Terra de luz e amor
Foi lá onde nasceu
Nosso senhor!
Bahia!
De iaiá e de ioiô
De mãe preta carinhosa
Que no colo me embalou
Quando eu nasci
Na cidade baixa
Me enrolaram numa faixa
Cor de rosa, de cetim
Quando eu cresci
Dei a faixa de presente
Pra pagar uma promessa
Ao meu senhor do bonfim!
Pedi que me desse um carinho
Da felicidade
Pedi que me ensinasse o caminho
Da minha mocidade
Sou feliz
Ninguém mais feliz que eu
Bahia
Senhor do bonfim me atendeu
