La na seu bo e um strela (lá no céu você é uma estrela)
Ki ka ta brilha (que não brilha)
Li na mar bo e um areia (ali no mar você é um grão de areia)
Ki ka ta moia (que não se molha)
Espaiod nes mund fora (espalhado mundo afora)
So rotcha y mar (só rocha e mar)
Terra pobr chei d'amor (terra pobre cheia de amor)
Tem morna, tem coladera (tem morna, tem coladeira)
Terra sek chei di amor (terra seca cheia de amor)
Tem batuk, tem funana (tem batuque, tem funaná)
Espaiod nes mund fora (espalhado mundo afora)
So rotcha y mar (só rocha e mar)
Terra pobr chei d'amor (terra pobre cheia de amor)
Tem morna, tem coladera (tem morna, tem coladeira)
Terra sek chei di amor (terra seca cheia de amor)
Tem batuk, tem funana (tem batuque, tem funaná)
Oi, e tont sodade (ai, é tanta saudade)
Sodade, sodade (saudade, saudade)
Oi, e tont sodade (ai, é tanta saudade)
Sodade sem fim (saudade sem fim)
Petit pays (pequeno país)
Je t'aime beaucoup (eu te amo muito)
Petit, petit (pequeninho)
Je l'aime beaucoup (eu o amo muito)
