Cartagenera
Voz de Cabo Verde
Cartagenera
Strolling my loneliness along Marbella beach
I saw you, Cartagenera, flaunting your tan skin
And on warm moonlit nights when the breeze kisses me
I feel, Cartagenera, the jingle of your laughter
Cartagenera, your mouth like ripe guava
Cartagenera, your eyes linger in my memory
Cartagenera, tan-skinned beauty, moonlit
Moonlit Cartagenera, tan-skinned
Strolling my loneliness along Marbella beach
I saw you, Cartagenera, flaunting your tan skin
And on warm moonlit nights when the breeze kisses me
I feel, Cartagenera, the jingle of your laughter
Cartagenera, your mouth like ripe guava
Cartagenera, your eyes linger in my memory
Cartagenera, tan-skinned beauty, moonlit
Moonlit tan-skinned, Cartagenera
Cartagenera, your mouth like ripe guava
Cartagenera, your eyes linger in my memory
Cartagenera, tan-skinned, golden under the moonlight
Tan-skinned Cartagenera, the jingle of your laughter
Strolling my loneliness along Marbella beach
I saw you, Cartagenera, flaunting your tan skin
And on warm moonlit nights when the breeze kisses me
I feel, Cartagenera, the jingle of your laughter
Cartagenera, your mouth like ripe guava
Cartagenera, your eyes linger in my memory
Cartagenera, tan-skinned beauty, moonlit
Moonlit tan-skinned, Cartagenera
