On this beach of Bahia
It is of you that I think,
of the black swell of your hair,
By collecting an indented shell
It is your heart which I listen to,
By walking in the tepid sand
It is Napoleon whom I free,
The sun of Bahia burns Joan of Arc
And hunting English of Gironde,
On this beach of Bahia
It is of you that I think, I stammer
Whereas waves rewrite
The history of France with you.

Romantic without being too explicit. Quite elegantly stated.
