@kaattelle Hi! I was happy about your interest in my language! I would like to know yours too.
Well, your understanding about the lyrics is almost close to the correct.
The first verse is more close to:
"Every Bahian girl has a saint* which God gives"
*Saint, in the context of the lyrics, refers to the afro-brazilian religions, a spiritual guide.
And instead of "facility", I think "way" ("a personal way to do stuffs") fits better.
Can send me a message if you want!
;)

@neofunkyman1 First you need to know:
1. Bahia = Brazilian state where the portuguese first arrived in 1500
2. "Baiana" = girl from Bahia
3. Pelourinho (Pillory) = place where the slaves were beaten. In Salvador (Bahia's capital), this name designates it's historic center
4. Santo (saint) = In the context of the lyrics, it refers to the afro-brazilian religions and it's saints, like a spiritual guide
Now I think google translate and the others users help can make it clear!
