Oh Baiá . . . when twilight is deep in the sky . . . Baiá
Someone that I long to see, keeps haunting my memory
An' so the loneliness deep in my heart calls to you, calls to you!
( Oh Baiá . . . ) Oh Baiá . . .

( I live in the memory of many dreams ago,
when the stars were bright and you were mine alone . . .
My love for you can not die, though the oceans run dry
or heaven's call from the sky, now you're gone! )

Baiá . . . can't you hear my lonely call? . . .
Morea . . . make my life complete again!
How I pray for the day when I'll see you smile
an' my heart will beat again!

Oh Baiá . . . when twilight is deep in the sky . . . Baiá
Someone that I long to see, keeps haunting my memory
An' so the loneliness deep in my heart calls to you, calls to you!
( Oh Baiá . . . ) Oh Baiá . . . ( Oh Baiá . . . )
