Lyrics
La luna redonda rueda por el cielo
jugando a las escondidas con los cogoteros
porque ella no quiere que su amor la vea
con la carita lavada y traje de fiesta.
Sobre un miriñaque, volados que vuelan
de broderi muy blanco y turbante de seda
collares de nacar, de marfil, de perlas
y en las orejitas, colgó dos estrellas.
Se miró al estanque, y se hecho a llorar
«Mi cara es tan pálida, no le va a gustar»
la brisa compinche hizo levantar
polvo del camino de color ladrillo
de Canto Do Mar.
Loca de contenta con su maquillaje
se prendió de un cometa y comenzó su viaje
descendió despacio en la blanca arena
con su traje blanco y su blanca estela
se subió a la espuma, a la plateada de mar
y con voz muy timida, se puso a cantar.
Traje de bahiana se puso esta noche
porque es carnaval y se va a bailar
con la mar en coche.
Lyrics translation
The round moon rolls across the sky
playing hide and seek with the cogoteros
because she doesn't want her love to see her
with a washed face and a party suit.
On a miriñaque, flying flies
very white broderi and silk turban
Pearl, ivory and pearl necklaces
and on her little ears, she hung two stars.
He looked at the pond, and made himself weep
"My face is so pale, you won't like it»
the breeze Buddy made rise
brick colored road dust
from the corner of the Sea.
Crazy happy with her makeup
he caught a kite and began his journey
he slowly descended into the white sand
with his white suit and his White Trail
he climbed to the foam, to the silvery sea
and in a very shy voice, he began to sing.
Bahiana's costume was put on tonight
because it's carnival and it's going to dance
with the sea by car.
