Baia-yah! Someone that I long to see

Oh! Baia-yah
Oh, how my heart longs for my beloved Baia
When twilight is deep in the sky,
When the sky is dimly lit by nightfall
Baia-yah! Someone that I long to see
My heart yearns to meet someone in Baia
Keeps haunting my reverie,
I cannot stop thinking about this person in my daydreams
And so the loneliness deep in my heart
My soul aches with the pain of loneliness
Calls to you, calls to you
My heart cries out to you, begging for your presence in my life
