Bêjo de Sodade (part. Raquel Tavares)

Sacred waves of the Tejo
Let me kiss your waters
Let me give you a kiss
A kiss of sorrow
A kiss of longing
To take to the sea
And the sea to my land
To take to the sea
And the sea to my land

Sacred wave of the Tejo
Let me kiss your waters
Let me give you a kiss
A kiss of sorrow
A kiss of saudade
To take to the sea, to take the sea to my land
To take to the sea, to take the sea to my land

My land is that tiny one
It's Cape Verde, that one of mine
That one that in the sea looks like a child
Who is a child of heaven
Who is a child of the ocean
Land of my mother
Land of my heart

My land is that tiny one
It's Cape Verde, that one of mine
That one that in the sea looks like a child
Who is a child of God
Who is a child of the ocean
Land of my mother
Land of my heart

In your crystal waves
Let me give you a kiss
On your girlish mouth
Let me give you a kiss to the Tejo
A kiss of sorrow
A kiss of saudade
To take to the sea
To take to my land
To take to the sea
To take to my land

In your crystal waves
Let me give you a kiss
On your girlish mouth
Let me give you a kiss to the Tejo
A kiss of sorrow
A kiss of saudade
To take to the sea
To take to my land
To take to the sea
To take to my land
To take to the sea and the sea to our land
To take to the sea
To take to my land
