Baunilha e Chocolate
Tó Cruz
Vanilla and Chocolate
What people is this, yours and mine
Where it passed, it took root?
Changed the sea, changed the sky
Where it wasn't, it dawned
Made the world its country
And your grandfather walked there
My grandmother set foot here
Our love is all sea
You have the scent of moonlight
I have the taste of coffee
Beloved with white skin
You are cream in my mate tea
It has more flavor than honey
To marry vanilla with chocolate
A white seagull went to find
In those lands further south
Sweet and musical people
Who in their tropical song
Put the dream and the blue sea
Who seasoned our love
Made with guitar and viola
In the back and forth of the caravel
With pepper and cinnamon
With chili pepper and saffron
Beloved with white skin
You are cream in my mate tea
It has more flavor than honey
To marry vanilla with chocolate
What people is this that left
And went to round the Bojador?
This people who felt the spell, the challenge
Of inventing a new love
From united hands a flower is born
And each kiss tastes like peace
When the soul feels love
Have the body any color
Black or white, it doesn't matter
When the soul feels love
Have the body any color
Black or white, it doesn't matter
