Kasa pikininu, nha libran
Raising children, my dear sister

Maninha kala pa la dja ô
Sister, where have you gone?

Kaminhu di mar pis unde mar?
On which path of the sea, under which sea?

Antonia, ka bu pertu mi
Antonia, you're not close to me

Pabia n' ta la sta ku medi
Because I'm not at peace

Antonia, remember me and a little boy, born under the sign of Libra

Antonia, you're not close to me

Pabia n' ta la sta ku medi nko
Because I'm not at peace, either

N' nega, n' nega
I don't differentiate

My friend, born under the sign of Libra, too

My friend Antonia, I don't differentiate based on skin color

Nha djinguin nha libran també ah
My friend, born under the sign of Libra, too

Nha Antonia mi n' ka bom na nogos
I'm not good at discriminating based on skin color, my friend Antonia
