Padoce de Céu Azul [English translation]

You are the prettiest little thing

I've ever seen in the sky of Cape Verde

A little piece of blue sky

that no cloud could ever hide

I've told you a million times

but you don't seem to take me seriously

In the middle of this mess called life

You're the only beautiful thing left to me

My love, my love

"Once forever, once for all"

My love, my love

"Once forever, you're the one"

You are "darling", poetry, wealth,

love and understanding

A little piece of summer's sky

that for no apparent reason fell right into my hands

Sea, give me comprehension

so that my heart be calmed

You who are my God

You who are my world
