Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ku bu kara alegri
Kel bu surrizu inosenti
Kada dia ta po-m xinti mas filis
Ó ki bu fala ku mi
Y bu kanta pa mi
Dja nada ka podi straga-m nha dia
Kuandu bu txoma-m kiridu
Nha korason vira alegri
N kre pa bu fika diskansadu
Pamódi mi dja N entrega-bu
Nha korason pa iternidadi
Bu transforma nha vida
Tristéza bu pega bu leba
Lonji di mi, pa lonji di mi, kretxeu
Nha korason dja bu abri
N kre tene-bu pa sénpri
Pértu di mi, mas pértu di mi
Ei!
Bistidu di branku
Bo é moda un anju
Ki Deus manda la di seu
Ó ki N odja-u ta ben pa mi
Nha korason ta bati fórti
Nha sonhu ta torna rialidadi
Dja bu po-m vira kontenti
Mi nada N ka ta pô bu frenti
Nha pérula di grandi valor
Mi N kre pa bu fika na nha ladu
Na nha petu inkostadu
Mi é di bo pa iternidadi
N ta fazi tudu ki N podi pa u sabi
Ma mi é di bó di oji pa dianti
Fika ku mi, pértu di mi kretxeu
Un novo mundu ki mi dja N diskubri
Nha pérula dja bu meresi
Un vida filis, pa sénpri filis
