In the waves of your body, I surfed with my hand
in the water of your kisses, you killed my thirst
in light of your look, lighted me the way
I sheltered my love in that paradise
longing, invaded my chest
disconsolately, without tranquility, without a dream
longing, invaded my chest
disconsolately, without tranquility, without a dream
but I'm sure that
you are my queen
oh, Cape Verdean mulatto
