Nha Kodé
N kria ser un puéta ke sô Paulino konsegí ser
Pa N skrevê-be un puéma bnite móda ke el skrevê (bu ta otxá-me sen mede)
Tónte de vida ke N tivi ke vivê, tónte sól ke N ka oiá ta nasê
Tónte lua ke ka iluminá-me sô pa mi inkontrá-be
Ah, nha kodé, N ta ama-u tantu ki ta duê
Ah, nha kodé, ka ten ninhun ki ta poi na bu pé
Ah, nha kodé, nha bilida di odju bu é
Oh-ah, nha kodé, si ka for ma bo, nton N ka krê sabe
Oh, nha lover, tudu dia óki manxe N krê-u (ale-m li kodé)
(N sa na bu maré) Mi N krê-u
Oh, I just want to make your body mine
Mama-eh, mama-eh, mama
Ah, nha kodé, N ta ama-u tantu ki ta duê
Ah, nha kodé, ka ten ninhun ki ta poi na bu pé
Ah, nha kodé, nha bilida di odju bu é
Oh-ah, nha kodé, si ka for ma bo, nton N ka krê sabe
Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh
Sô si for ma bo, ten ki ser ma bo
Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh (oh, oi)
My Love
I wanted to be a poet like only Paulino managed to be
So I could write you a beautiful poem the way he writes (you'll hear me without fear)
So much life that I had to live, so much sun that I couldn't see rise
So much moon that didn't light my way to find you
Ah, my love, I love you so much that it hurts
Ah, my love, no one can stand by your side
Ah, my love, you are the beauty of my eyes
Oh-ah, my love, if you're not here, then I don't want to know
Oh, my lover, every day all I want is you (even if it's hard)
(I know you're mine) I want you
Oh, I just want to make your body mine
Mama-eh, mama-eh, mama
Ah, my love, I love you so much that it hurts
Ah, my love, no one can stand by your side
Ah, my love, you are the beauty of my eyes
Oh-ah, my love, if you're not here, then I don't want to know
Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh
Only if you're here, it has to be you
Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh (oh, today)
