What is it about you, my Creole, oh
My sweet little thing, my daily joy
You are my queen, oh
And if I go to Mindelo, my longing for Praia
There's no one in this world
That I would exchange for my Cape Verdean
And it's true that I've had many women, women
But none, none of them have what you have, they can talk, talk

I need you 'cause you're my inspiration
Money don't mean nothing when I'm with you
I love you and I don't see myself without my African queen
Yo, I really need you

Creole, you're everything to me
I want to marry one from each island
Rabelado, Santa Maria
(How can I explain it?)

Tell me everything about you
You're Creole, Creole from the land, there's no one like you
Your beauty kills me every time I'm with you
I've had women from different places, but none like Creole, none like you
I've had women from different places, but none like my Creoles, no!

Since I was a child, my father would tell me: you can look but there's no one like Creole
Only when I married a Creole did I realize
We couldn't stop running after other Creoles
Nine months later, I found another Creole named Maria
Her name is Josslyn, her name is Vania, Zala's cousin, Santa Maria
Very nice, that's how she is
I like her more than I like eating cachupa [traditional dish]
Can't keep a Creole, I like everything about them (seriously?)

I need you 'cause you're my inspiration
Money don't mean nothing when I'm with you
I love you and I don't see myself without my African queen
Yo, I really need you

Creole, you're everything to me
I want to marry one from each island
(Hey, how can I explain it?)

Tell me everything about you
You're Creole, Creole from the land, there's no one like you
Your beauty kills me every time I'm with you
I've had women from different places, but none like Creole, none like you
I've had women from different places, but none like my Creoles, no!

Creole, my Creole, haha
What was I without you, my Creole?

My Creoles, Creole oh
Creole, Creole oh-oh-oh
My Creoles, Creole oh
Creole, Creole oh-oh-oh
My Creoles, Creole oh
Creole, Creole oh-oh-oh
My Creoles, Creole oh
Creole, Creole oh-oh-oh
My Creoles, Creole oh
Creole, Creole oh-oh-oh
My Creoles, Creole oh
Creole, Creole oh-oh-oh
My Creoles, Creole oh
Creole, Creole oh-oh-oh
