Tchuva fôrte, mâ fôrte

Bói de tchuva que nunca um tive igual

Quêl bói de malta na mês de julho
Tchuva fôrte, mâ fôrte

Bói de tchuva que nunca um tive igual
Fôrte de sab, ma sabê, e sô sab

Djack suqdi quêl pudim quêl aga oi oi

Quêl bói de malta na mês de julho

Bói de tchuva que nunca um tive igual
Fôrte de sab, ma sabê, e sô sab
Quêl bói de malta na mês de julho

The lyrics of "Festa d'tchuva" by Bius reflect a joyous celebration of life during the rainy season in Cape Verde. The opening lines describe a gathering of people on the terrace of Tony Milá during the month of July, a time when the rains are strong and abundant. The singer exclaims that the rain is almost too strong to look at, and the "bói de tchuva" (rain bull) is described as being unlike any other, powerful and full of knowledge.
The song then shifts to a more upbeat, celebratory tone, with the chorus repeating the phrase "Djack suqdi quêl pudim quêl aga oi oi," which translates to "let's jump to the beat of that aga pudding," a popular traditional dessert in Cape Verde. The song encourages everyone to join in the celebration, and mentions the "malta da quêl palm," or the group of friends who are all enjoying the festivities.
The latter half of the lyrics introduces dialogue from someone who urges the group to move on from the current activities and perhaps take a break or head home. The singer agrees, but acknowledges that they will still have fun and enjoy each other's company ("talvez depôs nô bá detá"). Overall, the song presents a sense of community, joy, and appreciation for life's simple pleasures.
