Stória, stória…
Dixa-m ben konta-bu un stória
Dun amor ki nasi oji
Entri un séu ki ka ten stréla
I un rubera so ku pédra
Tantu stória pa N konta-bu
Di forsa di sentimentu
Di kodê dun rabeladu
K'un mosinhu di Mindélu
Des amor ki djunta-s petu
Pa tudu eternidadi
Dixa-m ben konta-bu un stória
K'un sértu melankolia
Pa N fla-u kusé k'é sodadi
Di nha kabu k'é ka verdi
Tantu stória pa N konta-bu
Sobri fidjus di Atlántiku
Kotxi pédra tra ligria di ses gronzinhu di téra
Ka parsi lugar na mundu
Más di nos ki Kabuverdi
Dixa-m ben konta-bu un stória
Tantu stória pa N konta-bu
Dixa-m ben konta-bu un stória
Story, Story...
Tell me a story
About a love that was born today
Between a sky that has no stars
And a ruby just like a stone
So many stories for me to tell you
Of the strength of feelings
Of the code of a rebel
Like a whisper from the wind
Of a love that joins us together
For all eternity
Tell me a story
With a certain melancholy
For me to say what’s like longing
Of my heart that’s not green
So many stories for me to tell you
About the children of the Atlantic
Like stones through the joy of their little feet on the ground
There’s no place in the world
More than ours, like Cape Verde
Tell me a story
So many stories for me to tell you
Tell me a story
