XANDINHA
(Cape Verdean Creole)
Bos odjos Xandinha
Tem doçura de mel
Tem magia de Sol,
Ta cambá na mar azul.
Assim' m ta pedi Deus,
Pa antes d'um morrê,
Dixam na nha despidida,
Odja bôs odjos Xandinha.
Ã^ ca Lua, é ca Strela,
Ã^ ca pérola di mar,
Ã^ ca feitiço é ca sodad
Ã^ madrugada na bôs odjos,
Ã^ só bôs odjos Xandinha
XANDINHA
(English)
Your eyes, Xandinha
Have the sweetness of honey
They have the magic of the sun
Setting into the blue sea
So I ask God,
Before I die,
Before I bid farewell,
To let me see your eyes, Xandinha
It's not the moon
It's not a star
It's not a pearl of the sea
It's not a spell, it's not nostalgia
It's the dawn
In your eyes
It just your eyes, Xandinha
