Bida Mariadu
by Lura
Áh ãh ãh
Eiá eiá eiá
Nha fidju undi bu stá
Nha mãe m-bá djôbi bida
Bida tristi bida mariadu
Pensa noti mó ki-n ta fasi
Corri dia nada-n ka t'atcha
Oi disisperu ma mundu ê
duêdu / ma Déus ê grandi
Áh ãh ãh
Eiá eiá eiá
Nha fidju perta cintura
Ka bu dizanima nau
Bida ka dadu di mon beijadu
Bu tem ki tem força di vontadi
Na pobreza é pa spéra tempu
Leba ku koragi nos dia-a-dia
Maior é poder di Déus Fladu si mu poi mô nu ta djudadu
Nha fidju ka bu pára nau
Mó quem ki ta spera sempri t'alcança
