Trinta e cinco one dpôs
El tchega na mim

Moda borleta

M'tava ta guarda-l
El otcha-m pronto pá el

TRADUCTION
Trente cinq ans après
Elle m'est parvenue
Elle tournait autour des capverdiens
Tel un papillon
Elle s'est posée sur moi
Et elle y a trouvée miel et fiel
Je l'attendais
J'étais prêt pour elle
Chance de ma terre
Je l'attendais
Tu es enfin arrivée et à présent
Tu ne sortiras plus d'ici
Dieu qui te commande
Sait ce qu'il fait
Je te reçois
Les bras ouverts
Pour te partager avec mon peuple
Grâce à toi le monde entier
Déjà me consacre
Renommée de ma terre
Que j'ai obtenue grâce à toi
Message de nos poètes
Je l'emmène à travers le monde
Je chante "sodade" pour celui qui s'en va
Je chante le retour pour celui qui vient
Chance pour moi, chance pour mon pays
Chance pour tous ceux qui m'entendent
Chance pour moi
Chance pour mon pays
Chance pour tous ceux qui m'entendent
