Angelique Kidjo - Bahia lyrics

rate me

Aburo, orè ni gbogbowa, ewa ka lolé

Aburo, ibi kan ni wao, kamura si ifè

Ouidah ni ilé ti bahia

Ti émin mon wa, ri yin lénin o

Bahia, bahia, bahia, bahia, bahia, bahia

Ilé ti babawa djinan, awa fè lolé

Bahia ilou ti awa lenin, okpè gan si ilé

Ogun ti awon agbalagba, shé kalè foun wa o

Logbé wa lo si bahia, gbé gbogbowa kpo

Bahia, bahia, bahia, bahia, bahia, bahia

Odjo ikadé wa m'bowa o, ti ale rira wa

Ewa ka moura foun odjo yin, ninou oyaya

Oluwa foun wa ni ayé, edjè ka du kpè

Bahia kpa gbogbowa kpo, iréti wa lonan

Aburo, orè ni gbogbowa, ewa ka lolé

Aburo, ibi kan ni wao, kamura si ifè

Ouidah ni ilé ti bahia

Ti émin mon wa, ri yin lénin o

Oré ifé ayé ilé, oré ifé ayé ilé...

Aburo, orè ni gbogbowa, ewa ka lolé

Aburo, ibi kan ni wao, kamura si ifè

Ouidah ni ilé ti bahia

Ti émin mon wa, ri yin lénin o

Oré ifé ayé ilé, oré ifé ayé ilé...

TRANSLATION:

Bahia is so far from Motherland

But the spirit is still alive

One day we'll come together

I want to cross that bridge

It leads from Ouidah to Bahia
