Bô dzem k'ma destine ka ta na bô mom
Depôs bo dzem kê mdjor
Nô pensa drêt na nôs relação
K'ma bô ka krê maguá nha coração
Mi m'totcha ma bô kis dzê ote kosa
M'totchá, ma-m ka krê nem sabê
Kê nada ka ti ta bem dxam sem bô
E se na nha uvid
Ka tiver bo voz
E se na nha olhar
Ka tiver bo luz
Mané k'um t'argui
Mané k'um ta sorri
Ondê k'um otxá força
Ke pa-m vivê

No tem um stória tão bnit
Dzêm pe kê ke bo krê bem mudá nos rume
Mané ke bo krê pa nos amor vrá grande
Se bô ka nem dal tempe sufciente p'al criá
Mi-m t'otxa ma bô deve pensá mdjor
Ka bô precipitá por favor
