Paroles et traduction Cesária Évora - Barbincor

Barbincor

Nha fê nha esperança
Morrê na sombra dum jardim
Nha fê nha esperança
Esvai' num mar cheio d'tarafim
Nha fê nha esperança na bô Cabo Verde
Morrê na curva de nha sodade
Na lembrança de nha mocidade
Naquel neva escura qui ca tchobè
Nha fê nha esperança ja morrê
Num sociedade
Qu'tudo gente conchê bandido ma sport
Barbincor qu'rê finta'm
Qu'ré p'tà sônaize cinza na ôje
Ma ness travessa ca ta passode
Sem bô esfrega'l tê tcherê òie
Oià c'ma mim la disiludide
Nha fê nha esperança ja morrê

Barbincor

My faith, my hope
To die in the shade of a garden
My faith, my hope
Fades away in a sea full of drummers
My faith, my hope in you, Cape Verde
To die in the curve of my longing
In the memory of my youth
In that dark snowfall that falls softly
My faith, my hope is already dead
In a society
Where everyone knows the bad guy, but sports
Barbincor who wants to cheat me
Who wants to put gray ashes in my eyes
But on this journey, I will not pass
Without you rubbing your cheek against mine
Look how disappointed I am
My faith, my hope is already dead
