Paroles et traduction Cesária Évora - Oriundina

Oriundina

Oriundina é um santinha morena
Santa qui cai di céu
Sê odjo di pena ma sê boquinha di mel
Quem qui dja tel ja tem ventura di cretcheu
Oriundina meiguinha
Ele nôs santa moreninha
Pa matam ês nôs dor
Basta sô sê amor
Oriundina abri porta di ceu
Oriundina d'oriundo bem corrê bô cretcheu
Bô ê medjor desse mundo

Oriundina

Oriundina is a dark-skinned saint
A saint who fell from heaven
Her eyes are sad, but her mouth is sweet as honey
Those who have known her are blessed
Oriundina, my dear
She is our dark-skinned saint
To heal our pain
All we need is her love
Oriundina, open the gates of heaven
Oriundina, from the heavens, we believe in you
You are the best in the world
