Bahia
(From the album "Amoureuse")

Unofficial translation of "Bahia", a song written by Véronique Sanson
(produced with permission)
BAHIA is a state in the north west of Brazil; capital Salvador

 

Please, I would like to go to Bahia, 
I have even seen the place in Aladdin's lamp.
I'll book two seats on the aeroplane,
Far from the sound of the accordions,
and I love you so; caress me.

In the morning, we will see water in Bahia,
There are no hurricanes, and that's a pagan word,
The rainy days do not exist,
The rainy days will never return,
and I love you so; caress me.

Around and around the wild waters and the vagrant waters,
will pass by you on their rounds.
The "rainy days": what does that mean?
The "rainy days" even make me laugh,
and I love you so; caress me..
