Joia
Bius Lyrics

The song "Joia" by Bius is a tribute to the beauty and culture of Cape Verde. The lyrics are in Cape Verdean Creole and Portuguese, and the song is a celebration of the people and the place. Bius sings about the sweetness of the cookies and sweets of Cape Verde, and how they remind him of his homeland. He also sings about the beauty of the people, particularly the women, who are like jewels, stars, and creoles. Bius says that they are the ones who make him feel like he is flying in the sky. He describes their skin as bronze, their hair as like the sun, and their beauty as shining like the moon. The chorus repeats the phrase "Joia, creola, strela, é bo ki pom ta subi na ceu," which means "jewel, creole, star, you are the one who makes me feel like I am flying in the sky."

Bius then sings in Cape Verdean Creole about gentleness and sweetness, creating a fantasy melody in his spirit, and bringing joy and happiness to his world with love. He asks the listener to come with him, feel his warmth, and ascend to the sky like a jewel, creole, and star. The song then ends with a repetition of the phrases "Aii tchutchu," "Aii ma mia," "Aii ti goy" and "Aii beleza," which are playful expressions of affection and beauty.
