Cesária Évora "Xandinha" lyrics

Translation to:enitptro

Xandinha

Bos odjos XandinhaTem doçura di melTem magia di solTa camba na mar azul

Assim m'ta pedi DeusPa antes d'um morrêDixam na nha despididaOdja bôs odjos Xandinha

É ca lua, é ca strelaÉ ca perola di marÉ ca feitiço, é ca sodadeÉ madrugada na bôs odjosÉ só bôs odjos Xandinha

Xandinha

Your eyes, Xandinha 1they have the sweetness of honeythey have the magic of the sunthat sets 2 in the blue sea

So I ask GodThat before I die,Let me, in my farewellView your eyes Xandinha

It's not the moon, nor the starsit's not pearls in the seait's not a spell, it's not longingit's dawn in your eyesit's only your eyes, Xandinha
