Que magia tem a Bahia
Quem poderá explicar
Tem mandinga, tem energia
Tem capoeira no ar

Que magia tem a Bahia
Quem poderá explicar
Tem mandinga, tem energia
Tem capoeira no ar


Chegando no Pelourinho
Escuto um berimbau viola
Lembro de Mestre Pastinha
Rei da capoeira Angola

Que magia tem a Bahia
Quem poderá explicar
Tem mandinga, tem energia
Tem capoeira no ar


Vicente Ferreira Pastinha
Grande nome na capoeira
Viveu desenvolvendo a arte
Baiana e brasileira

Que magia tem a Bahia
Quem poderá explicar
Tem mandinga, tem energia
Tem capoeira no ar


Amigo de Jorge Amado
Sempre fez poesia
Com a caneta ou com o corpo
Pelas ruas da Bahia

Que magia tem a Bahia
Quem poderá explicar
Tem mandinga, tem energia
Tem capoeira no ar


Pequeno e franzino ele era
Mas somente na aparência
Pois forte não era seu corpo
E sim sua inteligência

Que magia tem a Bahia
Quem poderá explicar
Tem mandinga, tem energia
Tem capoeira no ar
What magic does Bahia possess
Who can explain
There’s mandinga, there’s energy
There is capoeira in the air

What magic does Bahia possess
Who can explain
There’s mandinga, there’s energy
There is capoeira in the air

Arriving at Pelourinho
I hear a viola berimbau
I remember Mestre Pastinha
King of capoeira Angola

What magic does Bahia possess
Who can explain
There’s mandinga, there’s energy
There is capoeira in the air

Vicente Ferreira Pastinha
Big name in capoeira
Lived developing the art
Bahian and Brazilian

What magic does Bahia possess
Who can explain
There’s mandinga, there’s energy
There is capoeira in the air

Friend of Jorge Amado
Always made poetry
With the pen or with his body
Through the streets of Bahia

What magic does Bahia possess
Who can explain
There’s mandinga, there’s energy
There is capoeira in the air

Small and slender he was
But only in appearance
Because his body was not strong
But indeed his intelligence

What magic does Bahia possess
Who can explain
There’s mandinga, there’s energy
There is capoeira in the air
