Baía, it is like a song in my heart. A song with love and beautiful memories.
José Carioca


Baía (also known as Bahia) is a song featured in the Disney animated film The Three Caballeros. It is based on the famous Brazilian song Na Baixa do Sapateiro written by Ary Barroso in 1938. The song's English lyrics are not a direct translation of the original Portuguese lyrics written by Barroso; it is instead adapted by Ray Gilbert.

Background[]

It is heard when Donald Duck opens a gift from his friend José Carioca who explains to him of what it is like in the city of Salvador, the capital of the Brazilian state of Bahia (spelled "Baía" in the film). The song then loops into another song titled "Have You Been to Baía, Donald?" after it ends.

Lyrics[]

Nestor: Oh, Baía
When twilight is deep in the sky
Baía
Someone that I long to see
Keeps haunting my reverie
And so the loneliness deep in my heart calls to you...
(Calls to you...)

I live in the memory of many dreams ago
When the stars were bright and you were mine alone
My love for you cannot die
Though the oceans run dry
Or heaven falls from the sky
Now you're gone

Chorus: Baía
Nestor: Can't you hear my lonely call
Chorus: Morena
Nestor: Make my life complete again

How I pray for the day
When I'll see your smile
And my heart will beat again

Chorus: Oh, Baía
Nestor: When twilight is deep in the sky
Baía
Someone that I long to see
Keeps haunting my reverie
And so the loneliness deep in my heart calls to you...
(Calls to you...)
