Petit Pays
Little Country
La na ceu bo é um estrela
In the sky you are a star
Ki ca ta brilha
That does not shine
Li na mar bo é um areia
On the sea you are the sand
Ki ca ta moia
That does not moisten
Espaiote nesse munde fora
Scattered throughout the world
So rotcha e mar
Only rocks and sea
Terra pobre chei di amor
Poor land full of love
Tem morna tem coladera
With mornas and coladeiras
Terra sabe chei di amor
Beautiful land full of love
Tem batuco tem funaná
With batuku and funana
Oi tonte sodade
Such sodade
Sodade sodade
Sodade sodade
Oi tonte sodade
Such sodade
Sodade sem fim
Such endless sodade
Petit pays je t'aime beaucoup
Little country I love you so
Petit pays je l'aime beaucoup
Little country I love it so
Petit pays je t'aime beaucoup
Little country I love you so
Petit, Petit, je l'aime beaucoup
Little one, little one, I love it so
