Paroles et traduction Cesária Évora - Nha coração tchora

Nha coração tchora

M passá na Cab Verde
Ta singrá mar azul
D'bóx d'sê Céu de anil
Tinha um sol brilhante
Ta iluminá esse pérola d'oceano
Da'm um sodade di nha cretcheu
Ma 'm pidi Deus pa' conforta'm
Na tud quel dor qui tormenta'm
Naquel momento dur e maguód
Qui faze'm tchorá
'M passá na Cab Verde
Ta singrá mar azul
D'bóx d'sê Céu de anil
Tinha um sol brilhante
Ta iluminá esse pérola d'oceano
Da'm um sodade di nha cretcheu
Ma 'm pidi Deus pa' conforta'm
Na tud quel dor qui tormenta'm
Naquel momento dur e maguód
Qui faze'm tchorá
Era na camim pa Brasil
Ta passá li n'aga pa sul
'M oiá nha terra
'M gritá nha sodade
Ninguem k'uvi'm
Nha grito perdê na vento
Nha coração tchorá
Óh gente oiá el ka sabe el é triste
Passá perto di bô cretcheu
Sem podê da'l um beijo
Óh gente oiá el ka sabe el é triste
Passá perto di bô cretcheu
Sem podê da'l um beijo
...

My Heart Cries

I passed through Cape Verde
I sailed on a sea of blue
Beneath a sky of indigo
A dazzling sun
Illuminated this pearl of the ocean
A nostalgia for my homeland seized me
But I asked God to comfort me
In all the pain that torments me
In that moment of pain and sorrow
That made me cry
I passed through Cape Verde
I sailed on a sea of blue
Beneath a sky of indigo
A dazzling sun
Illuminated this pearl of the ocean
A nostalgia for my homeland seized me
But I asked God to comfort me
In all the pain that torments me
In that moment of pain and sorrow
That made me cry
I was on my way to Brazil
Sailing south
I looked at my land
I cried out my longing
No one heard me
My cries were lost in the wind
My heart cries
Oh people, look at him, you don't know how sad he is
Passing close to his homeland
Unable to give it a kiss
Oh people, look at him, you don't know how sad he is
Passing close to his homeland
Unable to give it a kiss
