Fake Bahian

A Bahian that enters the samba and just stands still
Doesn't samba, doesn't dance, doesn't shake or anything
Doesn't know how to leave the youth crazy
A Bahian is someone who enters the samba in any manner
That moves, shakes, makes a knot in their hips
Leaving the crowd salivating
 
When the fake Bahian enters the samba
Nobody is bothered, nobody claps
Nobody widens the circle, nobody shouts 'ôba'
Save the Bahia, Lord
 
But the people like when a Bahian
Does the samba well, up and down
She moves her little eyes saying
I am a daughter of São Salvador
 

The True Frog

Choir of shadow color, of color sound of one bad want me1
Of one bad want me, of well of well one2 says me
Of saying me that way I'll be happy
I'll be happy from flower, from flower to flower
From samba to samba3 in sound of back and forth
Of green green to see grass foot 4
Feather beak great kiskadee5
Dawning yes close to me
 
Close to the brightness of morning
The grass, the mud, all is my sister
The branch, the frog, the leap
Of a true frog6.
 

• 1. here I did a literal translation 'mal me quer' comes from 'bem me quer mal me quer' which would be something like 'does he/she doesn't love me or does he/she loves me?' you do it when you are in love and you want to 'know' if the person you love loves you back, you get a flower and you start ripping each petal, the first petal is 'bem me quer, then mal me quer and so forth, if it stops in mal me quer it means the person doesn't love you back, and bem me quer that the person does, I believe the song is referring to this action
• 2. same as explained above in the note
• 3. samba is a famous kind of brazilian music
• 4. here it can means either a literal foot or some kind of 'grass tree' for example as em 'pé de maçã'(apple tree) but I believe it refers to a literal foot
• 5. fun fact, it is called bem-te-vi cuz that what the birds sounds like it's saying when it sings, bem-te-vi means literally 'I saw you well' sound pio refers to the sound the bird does
• 6. it's a kind of frog from the family Ranidae if you wanna look it up
