hora ki bu txiga

Ricky Man's song 'hora ki bu txiga' is a heartfelt ode to true love and the deep emotional connection between two people. The lyrics, sung in Cape Verdean Creole, express the joy and fulfillment that the narrator feels when they are with their special someone. The song opens with the narrator declaring their happiness and how their partner, referred to as 'nha special girl,' brings immense joy to their life. Even when they are apart, the narrator's thoughts are constantly with their loved one, highlighting the depth of their affection.

The chorus, or 'refrão,' speaks to the desire to escape with their partner to a place where no one knows them, away from the prying eyes of the world. This longing for a private paradise where they can enjoy each other's company and the beauty of the world is a recurring theme. The imagery of walking by the seaside under the moonlight and showing each other the world's beauty adds a romantic and dreamy quality to the song.

As the song progresses, the narrator continues to express their unwavering love and commitment. They describe their partner as the source of their happiness and peace, willing to do anything for them. The repeated line 'Hora ki bu txiga, Ami n'sta sperau' (When you arrive, I am waiting) emphasizes the anticipation and longing for their partner's presence. The song beautifully captures the essence of true love, the joy of being together, and the pain of being apart, making it a relatable and touching piece for anyone who has experienced deep affection and longing.
