Nhu Santiagu (with Elida Almeida)

Lura
Tudu bes ki ntem txeu tempu nka txiga Santiagu
Fadiga ta dam korasom ta pertam
Pamodi la ki sta nha fonti di inspirasom
Nha biku la ki sta interadu

Elida Almeida
Ntem sodadi papia ku nhas bedjus
Pam brinka ku nha mininus na mei di banana

Elida Almeida
Nhu Santiagu
Nta lebabu na nha petu

Kaba go nem nka ta kansa

O ma ntem ki passa pa Laranjeira
O ma ntem ki subi kebrada
Pam nba toma bensom la na Mozinha

O ma ntem ki passa pa Cruz
Pam nba toma bensom la na Sabina

Kaba go nem nka ta kansa

Nhu Santiagu (with Elida Almeida)

Lura
I've been longing to come to Santiago
Fatigue weighs on my heart and soul
Because there lies my source of inspiration
My dream that was cut short

Elida Almeida
I thirst to talk with my friends
To frolic with my children among the banana trees

Elida Almeida
Nhu Santiagu
My soul is bound with yours
Santa Cruz of my homeland
I carry you on my back
Until I reach you, my fatigue will not cease

Lura
Nhu Santiagu
My soul is bound with yours
Santa Cruz of my homeland
I carry you on my back
Until I reach you, my fatigue will not cease

Lura
Ah, Matinhu Matu Madera, I must go
I must pass through Laranjeira
I must climb the steep slope
So I may take communion with Mozinha

Elida Almeida
Ah, Matinhu Riba tambe, I must go
So I may take part in your celebration
I must pass through Cruz
So I may take communion with Sabina

Lura & Elida
Nhu Santiagu
My soul is bound with yours
Santa Cruz of my homeland
I carry you on my back
Until I reach you, my fatigue will not cease
