Saudade da Bahia - Dorival Caymmi (Cover)

Here's my cover of Saudade da Bahia, a song which tells of a longing to be happy again, in Bahia!
Dorival Caymmi was a Brazilian singer, songwriter, actor, and painter active for more than 70 years beginning in 1933. He contributed to the birth of Brazil's bossa nova movement, and several of his samba pieces, such as "Samba da Minha Terra", "Doralice" and "Saudade da Bahia" (1957), have become staples of Música Popular Brasileira.
here's an english interpretation of the lyrics that I got from www.lyricalbrazil.com:
Ai, what longing I feel for Bahia
Ai, if I’d listened to what mama said
“Dear, don’t go leaving your mother worried
We do as our heart commands
But this world is made up of malice and illusion”
Ai, if I’d listened, today I wouldn’t suffer
Ai, from this longing in my breast
Ai, if feeling longing is some sort of defect
I at least deserve the right
To have someone with whom I can confess
Put yourself in my place, and look how an unhappy man suffers
He had to unburden himself
Telling everyone that which no one says
See, what a situation
And see how a poor heart suffers
That poor guy who believes
That glory and money bring happiness

Note: I do not own the rights to this music, I just sing and play it.
