Que povo é este, teu e meu
Onde passou deitou raíz?
Mudou o mar, mudou o céu
Onde não era amanheceu
Fez do mundo o seu país
E o teu avô andou por lá
A minha avó pôs cá o pé
Nosso amor é todo mar
Tens perfume de luar
Tenho gosto de café
Amada de branca pele
És nata no meu chá mate
Tem mais paladar que o mel
Casar baunilha com chocolate
Gaivota branca foi achar
Naquelas terras mais a sul
Gente doce e musical
Que em seu canto tropical
Pôs o sonho e o mar azul
Quem temperou o nosso amor
Feito à guitarra e violão
No vai-vem da caravela
Com pimenta e com canela
Com gindungo e açafrão
Amada de branca pele
És nata no meu chá mate
Tem mais paladar que o mel
Casar baunilha com chocolate
Que povo é este que partiu
E foi dobrar o Bojador?
Este povo que sentiu o feitiço, o desafio
De inventar um novo amor
Das mãos unidas nasce a flor
E cada beijo sabe a paz
Quando a alma sente o amor
Tenha o corpo qualquer cor
Preto ou branco tanto faz
Quando a alma sente o amor
Tenha o corpo qualquer cor
Preto ou branco tanto faz
Who are these people, yours and mine
Whom had spread roots wherever they went?
They changed the sea, they changed the sky
Where there was no dawn
They made the world their country
Your grandfather was in these parts
My grandmother was here too
Our love is the entire ocean
Your perfume is moonlight
My taste is coffee
My sweetheart with white skin
You are the cream in my dark tea
It's sweeter than honey
A mixture of vanilla and chocolate
A white seagull was found
In those southern lands
Sweet and musical people
Whose tropical singing
Made the dream and the sea blue
Who flavoured our love
Made by the Spanish and Portuguese guitar
In the to-and-fro of caravels
With pepper and cinnamon
With chilli and saffron?
My sweetheart with white skin
You are the cream in my dark tea
It's sweeter than honey
A mixture of vanilla and chocolate
Who were those people who lifted anchor
And rounded Cape Bojador?
Those people who fell under the spell, the challenge
To invent a new love
When hands are joined, a flower is born
And each kiss is blissful peace
When our souls feel love
Whatever the colour of our body
Black or white is of no importance
When our souls feel love
Whatever the colour of our body
Black or white is of no importance
