Lyrics
Ah calê ai tal sodade
Mundo ja qu’rê volto-be cabeça
Ah calê ai tal sodade
Mundo ja qu’rê volto-be disvessa
Ca bô uvi ca bô d’scuti
Sês argumente ca tem fundamente
Tentà cumpri tentà sigui
Voz sincera d’bô coração
Falà pa quê falà
Se nada tem pa sustentà
Valor dum falador
Ta na força di sê pensar
TRADUCTION
Ah que de nostalgie
On veut te tourner la tête
Ah une telle nostalgie
On veut te mettre la tête à l’envers
(disvessa: vêtir un habit à l’envers)
N'écoute pas, ne discute pas,
Ses arguments sont sans fondement.
Tente d’honorer, tente de suivre
La voix sincère de ton coeur.
Parler, pourquoi parler
S’il n’y a rien à soutenir
La valeur d’un parleur
Est dans la force de ses pensées
Lyrics translation
Ah calê AI such soda
World ja Qu'rê back-be head
Ah calê AI such soda
World ja Qu'rê back-be disvessa
Ca Bo uvi CA bo d'scuti
You're argument ca has Foundation
Try to fulfill try to follow
Sincere voice d'bo heart
Talk to what?
If there is nothing to sustain
Value of a talker
Ta in the force di be think
Translation
Ah that nostalgia
We want to turn your head
Ah such nostalgia
We want to turn your head upside down
(disvessa: wearing a dress upside down)
Don't listen, don't argue,
His arguments are unfounded.
Try to honor, try to follow
The sincere voice of your heart.
Talk, why talk
If there is nothing to support
The value of a speaker
Is in the power of his thoughts
