Téra Lonji

N ben d’un téra lonjiD’un téra lonji di liDja N ten andádu munduMá N k’átxa un lugár sábi si

A-mi é fidju di rótxaKi Béntu-Lésti fulia na márDéntu mi ten dés iliaKábu-Verdi, Kábu-Verdi

La na nha Téra lonjiLaméntu di Povu foi txeuKonsiénsia grita óraI un di ses vós foi Kabral

Nós é fidjus di rótxaKi Béntu-Lésti fulia na márDéntu nós tudu é iliaKábu-Verdi, Kábu-Verdi

Palan só ta spéra txubaTxiku, Nhéla ku ses urilTufuka dja bendi si pexiOji Bénta txiga LisbouaFilisiánu txora sodádiBeny gánha totobólaEs vida é sima maré

Ku kada ánu ta nasi speránsaDi odja azágua ben trás di simenteraPa vida bai más suávi si, más dóxi siPa kada un ki kré es txon

Faraway Land

I come from a faraway landOh, a land far from hereI have walked the earthBut I never found such a lovely place

I am a child of the rocksThat the East Wind flung into the seaInside me there are ten islandsCape Verde, Cape Verde

Over there in my faraway landPeople’s laments were countlessConscience proclaimed it was timeAnd one of its voices was Cabral

We are children of the rocksThat the East Wind flung into the seaOur inner selves are wholly insularCape Verde, Cape Verde

Palan as usual is waiting for the rainTchico, Nhela are playing uril*Tufuka just sold her fishToday Benta arrived in LisbonFilicianu cried in longingBeny just won the lotteryOur lives are akin to the tides

With each year hope is bornOf seeing the rain come after sowingSo that life can go on smoother, sweeter soFor those who love this land
