Nhu Santiago (part. Elida Almeida)
[Lura]
Tudu bes ki n tem txeu tempu n ka txiga Santiagu
Fadiga ta da-m korasom ta perta-m
Pamó la ki sta nha fonti di inspirasom
Nha biku la ki sta interadu
[Elida Almeida]
N tem sodadi papia ku nhas bedjus
Pam brinka ku nha mininus na mei di banana
[Elida Almeida]
Nhu Santiagu
N ta leba-bu na nha petu
Santa Kruz dimeu
N ta karega-u riba nha kosta
Kaba gó nem n ka ta kansa
[Lura]
Nhu Santiagu
N ta leba-bu na nha petu
Santa Kruz di meu
N ta karega-u riba nha kosta
Kaba gó nem n ka ta kansa
[Lura]
Ah Matinhu Matu Madera n tem ki bai
O ma n tem ki pasa pa Laranjeira
O ma n tem ki subi kebrada
Pam n ba toma bensom la na Mozinha
[Elida Almeida]
Ah Matinhu Riba tambe n tem ki bai
Pam n fla gudedja mó ki stadu
O ma n tem ki pasa pa Cruz
Pam n ba toma bensom la na Sabina
[Lura & Elida]
Nhu Santiagu
N ta leba-bu na nha petu
Santa Kruz di meu
N ta karega-u riba nha kosta
Kaba gó nem n ka ta kansa
Like Santiago (feat. Elida Almeida)
All the time that I don't have enough time to reach Santiago
Fatigue is giving me a hard time, it's wearing me out
Because there is my source of inspiration
My life is intertwined there
I miss talking to my friends
To play with my kids in the middle of the banana trees
Like Santiago
I'll carry you on my back
Holy Cross of mine
I'll cherish you on my coast
Never give up, I won't tire
Like Santiago
I'll carry you on my back
Holy Cross of mine
I'll cherish you on my coast
Never give up, I won't tire
Oh Little Matu Madera, we have to go
Oh, we have to pass by Laranjeira
Oh, we have to climb the hill
To go take blessings there in Mozinha
Oh Little Matu Riba, we also have to go
To say how good it is
Oh, we have to pass by Cruz
To go take blessings there in Sabina
Like Santiago
I'll carry you on my back
Holy Cross of mine
I'll cherish you on my coast
Never give up, I won't tire
