Jardim Prometido

Ess verde di bô nome ja nos esperal tcheuNum jardim florido, rebera ta corréVale de Paúl é prova de fertilidadeQuande nuvem fecunda ta derrá-me sê amorAgua ta caí esperança ta brotá

Naquês tempo d'otrora quande mundo era mundoMaça di ouro bô tchom tava dáTchuva zanga e quel era de bonançaHoje transformá num historia sabe d'uviMa nôs vontade e esperança é maior

Quel jardim na nôs sonho ca morrêForça de perseverança ainda ta cultiva'lCabo Verde é verde na nôs coraçonNôs terra ta vertejá d'nôs mon cheio d'amor

Sempre nô espera pèss dia grandeOnde cada fidjo ta tem sê parte d'virdimNô crê vivê num terra d'amizadeTa desenvolvê na meio d'felicidadeNum jardim prometido ta flori cheio di paz

Promised Garden

That green of your name already promises us a lotIn a flowery garden, the river is flowingVale de Paúl is a sampling of fertilityWhen an abundant cloud is giving me its loveWater is falling hope is blossoming

In that former time when the world was the worldThat golden apple of yours called givingRain, anger, and that of goodnessToday transformed into a story known by earBut our will and hope is greater

That garden in our dream dies hereThe force of perseverance still is cultivatingCape Verde is green in our heartOur land of our greenery full of love

We always wait for that great dayWhere every child has their part of the greennessWe want to live in a land of friendshipUnraveling in the middle of happinessA promised garden is flowering full of peace
