Di Undi Kim Bem
Di undi kim bem
Tem stória transadu ku txoru
Música txoradu ki ta konta sodadi di terra longi
Di undi kim bem
Tem um spritu kambadu na alma di povo
Tem un arvi tamanhu sima korasson di mundu
Di undi kim bem
Tem mudjer preta ki pari mininu mulatu
Tem lua xeia pa ilumina sukuro di tudu Kau Berdi
La di undi kim bem
Tem um stória kalado guardado na tempu
Um txeru, um misteriu markadu na peli
La di undi kim bem
Lua xeia ta caima tormenta
Di kes korrenti ki guentis d'Africa trazé um dia
Maradu na pe, maradu na mon, sotadu na corpu
La di undi kim bem
Kim ka volta más...
[Verse]
There where I came from, there are stories to weep over
Mournful songs that tell of homesickness for a distant land
There where I came from, there's a spirit in the people's soul
A tree the size of the world's heart
There where I came from, black women had mulatto children
The full moon lights the darkness of all Cape Verde
[Chorus]
There whеre I came from, therе's a secret history kept by time
A perfume, a mystery imprinted on the skin
There where I came from, the full moon soothes the torment
Of the chains people once brought from Africa
[Post-Chorus]
Fastened to their ankles and their wrists, lashed on their bodies
Fastened to their ankles and their wrists, lashed on their bodies
[Chorus]
There where I came from, there's a secret history kept by time
A perfume, a mystery imprinted on the skin
There where I came from, the full moon soothes the torment
Of the chains people once brought from Africa
[Post-Chorus]
Fastened to their ankles and their wrists, lashed on their bodies
Fastened to their ankles and their wrists, lashed on their bodies
[Outro]
There where I came from, where I've never gone back to
There where I came from, where I've never gone back to
