To leave for a distant land
was always my illusion
And here I am finally
With a forced smile,
Bitter and sad
I will wander from sea to sea
I will travel from wind to wind
Searching for a future
Amidst the shadows of the destiny
My life is an endless toing and froing
It's the fate of a Cape-verdian son
To live an unconstant peace
Like the fate of a gypsy
I will live with torments
In a world filled with evil
My destiny is so hurt and sorrowful
Into a silence of longing
