Lyrics
Chorus
Oh! Ba-i-a-yah!
When twilight is deep in the sky, Ba-i-a-yah!
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 heavens fall from the sky
Now you’re gone!
Baia, can’t you hear my lonely call?
“Morena,” 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! Ba-i-a-yah!
When twilight is deep in the sky, Ba-i-a-yah!
Someone that I long to see
Keeps haunting my reverie
And so the loneliness deep in my heart
Calls to you, calls to you
