Bô papa ka foi foguer'
Nem taõ pouco rochegador
Nem marinhêr nem catraer'
Nem carpinter nem pédrer' el foi
Nem pader nem pescador
E nem tambê um catador
Dificuldade bô ka conchel
Pobreza pa bô é lenda de gente gintil
Bô liberdade bô ka brigal
Bem dzêm quem bô é na vida
Pa julga
Realidade dess noss pais
Pamod cristôm ta stod calod'
E justiça de povo nunca têm voz
La de bô tribuna, bô t'insulta
E calunia, té Deus na ceu
Ma cma déboxe de ceu, tudo tem se limite
Bô puder ka é infinito
E li ké Cabo Verde

TRADUCTION
Ton père n'était pas chauffeur
Ni ramasseur de charbon
Ni marin ni batelier
Ni charpentier ni maçon
Ni boulanger ni pêcheur
Ni non plus un gagne-petit
Tu n'as pas connu la difficulté
La pauvreté pour toi
C'est une légende de gens naïfs
Tu ne t'es pas battu pour ta liberté
Dis-moi alors qui tu es
Pour juger la réalité
De notre pays
Parce que les chrétiens se taisent
Et que la justice du peuple n'a jamais de voix,
Du haut de ta tribune tu insultes
Et tu calomnies même le Bon Dieu.
Mais comme sous les cieux, il y a une limite à tout
Ton pouvoir n'est pas infini
C'est ici qu'est le Cap-Vert
