Linda Flor [Yayá] [Ai, ioiô] [English translation]

Oh , ioio

I was born to suffer

It was just looking at you

That my little eyes closed

And when I opened my eyes

I wanted to scream, to run away

But you

I don't know why

You called me

oh, ioio

Have mercy on me

Our Lord of bonfim

He can even be mad

And if someday he discover it

That you is the one that are

The ioio of iaia

I cried all night, thinking

In the love kisses I gave you

Ioio, darling of my heart

Take me home, don't ever leave me

I cried all noite, thinking

In the love kisses I gave you

Ioio, darling of my heart

Take me home, don't ever leave me
