Stória, stória…

Let me tell you a story
Of a love born today
Between one without a star
And a pirate with only a stone...

So many stories for me to tell you
Of the strength of feelings
Of the heart of a rebel
Of a little girl from Mindelo
Of this love that unites us
For all eternity...

Let me sing you a story
With a certain melancholy
To tell you what longing is
For my land that is not green...

So many stories for me to sing
About the children of the Atlantic
Where the stone joins the joy of its earth's grains
It may not seem like a place in the world
But of us from Cape Verde...

Let me sing you a story
So many stories for me to sing
Let me tell you a story...
