Jardim Prometido
Cesária Évora
Promised Garden
It's been a while since we've heard your name
In a flowery garden, the river runs
The Valley of Paúl is proof of fertility
Where fertile clouds pour out their love
Water falls, hope springs
In those times when the world was the world
The golden apple tree was giving
Angry rain and what was once calm today turns into a bitter story
But our will and hope are greater
That garden in our dreams won't die
The strength of perseverance still cultivates it
Cape Verde is green in our hearts
Our land overflows with a world full of love
Always hoping for that great day
Where each child has their part of the garden
We believe in living in a land of friendship
Developing in the midst of happiness
In a promised garden blooming full of peace
That garden in our dreams won't die
The strength of perseverance still cultivates it
Cape Verde is green in our hearts
Our land overflows with a world full of love
Always hoping for that great day
Where each child has their part of the garden
We believe in living in a land of friendship
Developing in the midst of happiness
In a promised garden blooming full of peace
