Текст и перевод песни Cesária Évora - Sorte

Sorte

Trinta e cinco óne despôs
El tchega na mim
El rodeá na bêra d′muto
Caboverdeano
Moda borleta
El sentá na mim
Li el otchá mel el otchá fel
Qu'm tava ta guardá′l
El otchá-me pronto pá el
Sorte di nha vida
'M tava ta esperó-be
Já bô tchega, dali bô ca tá bai
Deus qu'mandó-be
Sabê o qu′el fazê
Mim′m recebê-be di broce aberte
P'm reparti-bo co nha povo
Graças a bô mundo inter
Já consagra-me
Fama di nha terra
′M tá fazê graças à bô
Mensagem di nós poeta
'M tá levá p′ess mundo fora
'M canta sodade pa quel qui bai
′M canta regresse pa quel qui bem
Sorte pa mim, sorte pa nha terra
Sorte pa tudo quem ta uvi-me
Sorte pa mim, sorte pa nha terra
Sorte pa tudo quem ta uvi-me
Sorte pa mim, sorte pa nha terra
Sorte pa tudo quem ta uvi-me
Sorte pa mim, sorte pa nha terra
Sorte pa tudo quem ta uvi-me

Luck

Thirty-five years later
It came to me
It surrounded me with many
Cape Verdeans
Butterfly fashion
It sat with me
Like it was my sister or my brother
Who had been keeping it safe
It gave it to me, just for me
The luck of my life
I had been waiting for it
Now that you've arrived, you're not going anywhere
God sent you to me
Knowing what you were doing
I welcomed you with open arms
To share it with my people
Thanks to the whole world
You have already consecrated me
The fame of my land
I will succeed thanks to you
The message of our poets
I will take it to the outside world
I sing of longing for those who leave
I sing of return for those who come back
Luck for me, luck for my land
Luck for all who hear me
Luck for me, luck for my land
Luck for all who hear me
Luck for me, luck for my land
Luck for all who hear me
Luck for me, luck for my land
Luck for all who hear me
