Lyrics

Nha cretcheu
Dja bai sê caminho
Mim ja m’fica ta tchora
Ma ja m’pdi Deus na Céu
Pam consola, pam ca morrê
Amor é tão tcheu
Sodade é maior
Tcham pdi Deus na Céu
Pa el cabam cu ess dor
Nova Sintra
Ja bai terra longe
Levam qel astro do mar
Mi jam fica ta sofrê
Sodade ca ta esquêcé
TRADUCTION
Mon amour
A suivi son chemin
Moi je reste à pleurer
Mais j’ai demandé à Dieu au ciel
Qu’il me console, pour ne pas mourir
L’amour est si grand
La nostalgie est plus grande
Je demande au Dieu du ciel
Qu’il mette fin à cette douleur
Nova Sintra
Est loin maintenant
En emmenant l’astre de la mer
Moi je reste en souffrant
La nostalgie ne s’oublie pas

Lyrics translation

NHA cretcheu
Dja bai be way
Mim ja m'fica ta tchora
Ma Ja m'pdi God in heaven
Pam consoles, pam CA dies
Love is so Cheu
Sodade is greater
Tcham pdi God in heaven
Pa he cabam with ESS miss
New Sintra
Ja Bai land far away
Take qel astro from the sea
Mi jam gets ta suffer
Sodade ca Ta forgot
TRANSLATION
My love
Went his way
I remain to cry
But I asked God in heaven
May he console me, lest I die
Love is so great
Nostalgia is greater
I ask the God Of Heaven
Let him put an end to this pain
New Sintra
Is away now
Taking the star from the sea
I stay in pain
Nostalgia is not forgotten
