Alô, Alô, São Vicente
Djam odjá nhâ terra
Piquinino nâ mar tâ nascê
Nâ ondas di mar
Êl parcê'm um minino nâ berço
Nâ birinha di mar êl tâ bêm
Tâ Boiá
Ôi nâ azul di céu
Êl tâ bêm tâ sáná
Alô, alô São Vicente
Nhâ berço, nhã mãe
Alô, alô, Mindelo
Terra sabe di nhâ gente
Hello, Hello, São Vicente
I come from my land
Little one, I was born by the sea
In the ocean waves
It feels like a baby in a cradle
In the little sea, it’s doing well
It’s floating
Oh, in the blue of the sky
It’s doing well, it’s shining
Hello, hello São Vicente
My cradle, my mother
Hello, hello, Mindelo
Land that knows my people
