Cape Verde, Cherished Land

Oh Cape Verde, cherished land,
Land of peace and joy,
Where all who work for pleasure
Will find it, or will stay where they are,
But if they are sent away, they will weep.
Oh Cape Verde, cherished land,
Land of peace and joy,
Where all who work for pleasure
Will find it, or will stay where they are,
But if they are sent away, they will weep.
Ten grains of sand,
Which God scattered in the midst of the sea,
He has never taken back from us and given to war,
And Cape Verde is a beloved land.

Weep for the longing of those dark-skinned women,
Who he carries in his thoughts,
Weep in eternal memory,
Of a time when there was no suffering.
