Cabo Verde La Fora (feat. Ceuzany)

From a young age, I've been looking for something to make CV great
To travel the world without having to be an emigrant
Someone who sings with soul in the voice of Cesária
Oh, some say they want to be something and leave a mark like Bana
I agree with those who want to be neither more nor less
Talking about Cape Verde in the melody of Boys G Mendes
Barefoot diva but in a different way
So everyone can understand my music without understanding Creole
Like all artists who take our music abroad
Being honored like those who are already doing it
To show that we are poor, but our culture is strong
We touch the dead, like we were touched by Ildo Lobo
I want to be heard like Guantanamera
To be heard like master Paulino Viera
I want to stand in the world like my family, Diego and Lutxinha

When the drum beats
When tears wet the face
Let this beauty touch
And take Cape Verde out there

Ah! I want to take a message from my people to the world
Like Hernani Almeida, educating the young ones
To see our music fly and travel
Like Sara Tavares' Butterfly
Remembering that Creole is outside our country
So when they say my voice is rough
I can say I'm Tito Paris
I want to be Boss AC for everyone to know
To make them like my style like Dino d'Santiago does
I want to be Expavi to inspire others
They say the sky is the limit, damn it's Ceuzany
Showing what Mindelo sends as a gift
Like a legend abroad, Cesaria Évora

When the drum beats
When tears wet the face
Let this beauty touch
And take Cape Verde out there

Cape Verde out there
Cape Verde out there
Cape Verde out there
Cape Verde out there

Ta ta ta ta ta
(I want to take Cape Verde out there)
Ta ta ta ta ta
(Travel the world out there)

When the drum beats
When tears wet the face
Let this beauty touch
And take Cape Verde out there

Cape Verde out there
Cape Verde out there
Cape Verde out there
Cape Verde out there
