Lembrança do Senhor do Bomfim - Salvador da Bahia

Lembrança do Senhor do Bomfim

Jazzy ribbons Fitas Review

Everywhere you will find these jezzy ribbons that say: Lembrança do Senhor do Bonfim da Bahia (Souvenir of Lord of Good End of Bahia). It is said that if you put this ribbon around your wrist, ask for a wish and never take it off, your wish will come true. I cannot say if it is true or not, because I never did such a thing!

Por todas partes se encuentran estas cintas coloridas que dicen: "Lembrança do Senhor do Bomfim da Bahia" (Recuerdo del Señor del Buen Fin de Bahía). Se dice que si te pones esta cinta en la muñeca, pides un deseo y nunca te la quitas, tu deseo se cumple. No puedo decir si es cierto o no, poruqe nunca lo hice!

Kid - Salvador da Bahia

Kid

Capitaes da areia

"Captains of Sand" is the title of a novel by Jorge Amado, the most important and famous of Bahian writers. This novel shows the life of the Bahian children that live in the streets (and beaches). When I saw this kid, with his sad and thoughtful face, I remembered those "captains of the sand".

"Capitanes de la arena" es el título de una novela de Jorge Amado, el más importante y famoso de los escritores bahianos. Esta novela muestra la vida de los niños bahianos que viven en la calle (y en la playa). Cuando vi este niño, con su carita triste y pensativa, recordé aquellos "capitanes de la arena".
