Djabraba Nha Terra Natal
Maria de Barros
Goodbye My Homeland
Goodbye my homeland
Goodbye my sweet nest
Land of love and affection
And with pain
That I'm going to leave behind
With feelings I cry
With eyes full of tears
I ask God for forgiveness
But one last time before I die
Goodbye my beloved
Beloved who I've worked so hard for
I ask God for guidance in this departure
So that I don't lose my life
I ask God to return
For us to enjoy our love
With peace, joy, and without pain
And always singing happily
