Bahía Lyrics Translation (from “PARADISO”)
El Zar sings about finding a woman dancing alone in Bahía. She moves with laughter and passion, creating a fleeting connection under the sky. The lyrics mention promises to meet again despite the sea carrying her away.
Quiero Adivinar A Dónde Va A Llevarme El VientoI want to guess where the wind’s going to take me,
Si Fue Casualidad O Estaba Todo A Destinado A Pasarif it was chance or if everything was destined to happen.
La Suerte Estaba A Punto De CambiarLuck was just about to change,
El Frío Del Invierno Quedó Atrásand the winter’s cold was left behind.
Cansado De Los Años De Tanta SoledadTired of the years of so much solitude,
En Un Viaje De Ida Se Marchóhe left on a one-way trip.
El Mar Se La LlevóThe sea carried her away,
La Encontró En Una Calle De Bahíaand he found her on a street in ‘Bahia’ (‘a coastal state in Brazil’).
Bailaba Sola Se ReíaShe was dancing alone and laughing,
Emborrachada De Pasióndrunk on passion.
Fueron Dos Desde La Noche Al MediodíaThey were together from night until noon,
Mirando Al Cielo Prometíanlooking at the sky and promising.
‘Nos Volveremos A Encontrar’‘We’ll meet again.’
Uh-uh-uhUh-uh-uh.
Cuándo Crees Que VolverásWhen do you think you’ll return?
Es Evidente Ya No Hay Vuelta AtrásIt’s obvious there’s no turning back now.
Te Escribo Cartas Que No Leerás JamásI’m writing you letters you’ll never read,
Mientras Yo Te Espero Acáwhile I wait for you here.
El Frío Del Invierno Quedó AtrásThe winter’s cold was left behind,
Cansado De Los Años De Tanta Soledadtired of the years of so much solitude.
En Un Viaje De Ida Se MarchóHe left on a one-way trip.
El Mar Se La LlevóThe sea carried her away,
La Encontró En Una Calle De Bahíaand he found her on a street in ‘Bahia’.
Bailaba Sola Se ReíaShe was dancing alone and laughing,
Emborrachada De PasiónDrunk on passion.
Fueron Dos Desde La Noche Al MediodíaThey were together from night until noon,
Mirando Al Cielo Prometíanlooking at the sky and promising.
‘Nos Volveremos A Encontrar’‘We’ll meet again.’
