Jardim Prometido
Cesária Évora Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ess verde di bô nome ja nos espera'l tcheu
Num jardim florido, rebera ta corré
Vale de Paúl é prova de fertilidade
Quande nuvem fecunda ta derrá-me sê amor
Agua ta caí esperança ta brotá

Naquês tempo d'otrora quande mundo era mundo
Maça di ouro bô tchom tava dá
Tchuva zanga e quel era de bonança
Hoje transformá num historia sabe d'uvi
Ma nôs vontade e esperança é maior

Quel jardim na nôs sonho ca morrê
Força de perseverança ainda ta cultiva'l
Cabo Verde é verde na nôs coraçon
Nôs terra ta vertejá d'nôs mon cheio d'amor

Sempre nô espera pèss dia grande
Onde cada fidjo ta tem sê parte d'virdim
Nô crê vivê num terra d'amizade




Ta desenvolvê na meio d'felicidade
Num jardim prometido ta flori cheio di paz

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cesária Évora's song "Jardim Prometido" speak of a promised garden that represents hope and perseverance. The green of the garden symbolizes the singer's love, while the valley of Paul is a proof of fertility. The rain brings with it love and hope, as represented by the water that nourishes the land. The song also touches upon a time when the world was a much simpler place and people were content with the golden apples that fell from the trees. However, now it is a story that is only heard, and the hope and perseverance of the people of Cape Verde reigns supreme. The greenery of the island is ingrained in the hearts of the people, and it is a land that overflows with love.

Где-то есть город тихий, как сон
Пылью текучей по грудь занесен
В медленной речке вода как стекло
Где-то есть город в котором тепло

Наше далёкое детство там прошло
Ночью из дома я поспешу
В кассе вокзала билет попрошу
Может впервые за тысячу лет
Дайте до детства плацкартный билет
Тихо кассирша ответит: "Билетов нет"
Билетов нет

Ну что, дружище, как ей возразить
Дорогу в детство где ещё спросить
А может просто только иногда
Лишь в памяти своей приходим мы туда

В городе этом сказки живут
Шалые ветры с собою зовут
Там нас порою сводили с ума
Сосны до неба, до солнца дома
Там по сугробам неслышно шла зима

Дальняя песня в нашей судьбе
Ласковый город- спасибо тебе
Мы не приедем, напрасно не жди
Есть на планете другие пути
Мы повзрослели, поверь нам, и прости.

Estive em Cabo Verde entre 1973 e 1976 na construção do Cais da Cidade da Praia. Aprendi a gostar das Mornas e Coladeras e principalmente desta Senhora e de Bana. Por circunstancias da vida não mais voltei a Cabo Verde, mas aprendi a gostar da gente e dos cantares criolos. Parabens vós sois maravilhosos. Obrigado.
