Lyrics
Ó, Maria
Faz tempo que você sabe
Que eu também sou da Bahia
Ó, Maria
Quantos anos você tinha
Quando o mato era fechado
Lá na estrada da Rainha
Quando era a céu aberto
Que o batuque se batia?
Ó, Maria
Faz tempo que você sabe
Que eu também sou da Bahia
Ó, Maria
Vê se você me adivinha
Das sete qual é a porta
Pro corredor da Lapinha
De união qual é o traço
Barra-Barris-Barroquinha
Ó, Maria
Faz tempo que você sabe
Que eu também sou da Bahia
Lyrics translation
Oh, Mary
It's been a while since you've known
That I am also from Bahia
Oh, Mary
How old were you
When the Bush was closed
There on Queen's road
When it was open air
That batuque would fight?
Oh, Mary
It's been a while since you've known
That I am also from Bahia
Oh, Mary
See if you guess me
Of the seven What is the door
Pro Lapinha runner
What is the trait
Bar-Barrels-Baroque
Oh, Mary
It's been a while since you've known
That I am also from Bahia
