Paroles et traduction Elida Almeida - Nós Rikeza

Nós Rikeza

Tudo bes kim lembra cesária ku bana
Lagua ta cre bazam
Tudo bem kim pensa na norberto ku vadu també
Ta dam gana txora
Tudo bes kim obi ildo lobo
Sodade ta dam
Tudo bes kim pensa na nha nacia na catxas code di dona
Ta dam gana txora
Nhos ki canta dia ku note
Pa mostra nós grandesa
Ku alma de pais pikenote
Pes ba ta conxi nós rikeza
Nhos ki canta dia ku note
Pa mostra nós grandesa
Ku alma de pais pikenote
Pes ba ta conxi nós rikeza
Nu pila funana
Nu canta coladera
Bolokia na batuku ke di nós
Sumara som di morna
Nu brinca ku tabanka
Konbersa sabi ku fina-som
Nu pila funana
Nu canta coladera
Bolokia na batuku ke di nós
Sumara som di morna
Nu brinca ku tabanka
Konbersa sabi ku fina-som
Ka nhos lebam
Pa num kau
Li ke nha terra ke nha casa
Ka tem dinheiro des mundo
Kim ta troca ku nha cabo verde
Ka nhos lebam
Pa num kau
Li ke nha casa ke nha terra
Ka tem dinheiro des mundo
Kim ta troca ku nha cabo verde
Nu pila funana
Nu canta coladera
Bolokia na batuku ke di nós
Sumara som di morna
Nu brinca ku tabanka
Konbersa sabi ku fina-som
Nu pila funana
Nu canta coladera
Bolokia na batuku ke di nós
Sumara som di morna
Nu brinca ku tabanka
Konbersa sabi ku fina-som
Ka nhos lebam
Pa num kau
Li ke nha terra ke nha casa
Ka tem dinheiro des mundo
Kim ta troca ku nha cabo verde
Ka nhos lebam
Pa num kau
Li ke nha casa ke nha terra
Ka tem dinheiro des mundo
Kim ta troca ku nha cabo verde
Nu pila funana
Nu canta coladera
Bolokia na batuku ke di nós
Sumara som di morna
Nu brinca ku tabanka
Konbersa sabi ku fina-som
Nu pila funana
Nu canta coladera
Bolokia na batuku ke di nós
Sumara som di morna
Nu brinca ku tabanka
Konbersa sabi ku fina-som
Konbersa sabi ku fina-som
Konbersa sabi ku fina-som
Konbersa sabi ku fina-som

Our Wealth

Everything reminds me of Cesária Évora
Her voice creates a longing
Everything makes me think of Norberto Tavares and Vadú too
It makes me want to cry
Everything reminds me of Ildo Lobo
Homesickness pains me
Everything reminds me of my grandmother in Catxá, São Filipe
It makes me want to cry
Those who sing night and day
To show our greatness
With the soul of a young boy
So that people can know our wealth
Those who sing night and day
To show our greatness
With the soul of a young boy
So that people can know our wealth
We dance the funaná
We sing the coladera
The Bolokia and the batuku belong to us
We hum the mournful tunes
We play the tabanka drums
We have wise conversations with the fina-som
We dance the funaná
We sing the coladera
The Bolokia and the batuku belong to us
We hum the mournful tunes
We play the tabanka drums
We have wise conversations with the fina-som
Don't tempt me
I won't go
Here is my home, my country
There is no money in the world
That could make me leave my Cape Verde
Don't tempt me
I won't go
Here is my country, my home
There is no money in the world
That could make me leave my Cape Verde
We dance the funaná
We sing the coladera
The Bolokia and the batuku belong to us
We hum the mournful tunes
We play the tabanka drums
We have wise conversations with the fina-som
We dance the funaná
We sing the coladera
The Bolokia and the batuku belong to us
We hum the mournful tunes
We play the tabanka drums
We have wise conversations with the fina-som
Don't tempt me
I won't go
Here is my home, my country
There is no money in the world
That could make me leave my Cape Verde
Don't tempt me
I won't go
Here is my country, my home
There is no money in the world
That could make me leave my Cape Verde
We dance the funaná
We sing the coladera
The Bolokia and the batuku belong to us
We hum the mournful tunes
We play the tabanka drums
We have wise conversations with the fina-som
We dance the funaná
We sing the coladera
The Bolokia and the batuku belong to us
We hum the mournful tunes
We play the tabanka drums
We have wise conversations with the fina-som
We have wise conversations with the fina-som
We have wise conversations with the fina-som
We have wise conversations with the fina-som
