Translation of the song Africa Nossa artist Cesária Évora
Africa Nossa
Our Africa
Africa, Africa, Africa
Africa, Africa, Africa
Africa minha, Africa nossa
My Africa, our Africa
Céu ja clareá
The sky has cleared
Consciença ja desanuviá
Consciousness has brightened
Ja tchiga hora, pa enfrentá realidade
The time has come to face reality
Um povo sofredor ja calmá sê dor
A suffering people
Pa'l bem vivê, na paz e na progresso
Have soothed their pain
Si nô tiver fê na nôs capacidade
To live in peace and progress
Mâe Africa ta ser feliz um dia
If we have faith
Africa, Africa, Africa
Africa, Africa, Africa
Africa minha, Africa nossa
My Africa, our Africa
Africa, Africa, Africa
Africa, Africa, Africa
Berço di mundo, continente fecundo
Cradle of the world, fertile continent
Diguenté Sénégal ak Cap-Vert mané soréwoul
Senegal and Cape Verde aren't so far away
Soumeu yeugone né niari rewyi ben-la
I can say that these two countries are united
Sama guente bi magni gnane Yallah wone ma ko
It is also true that our lands are twins
Africa done bene rew n'dakhe yadi sounou Yaye
Since our fates are sealed
Africa Africa Africa
Africa, Africa, Africa...
Jamma gna yendoo jamma gné fanaan
Day and night, peace be with you
Africa Africa Africa

Domou Africa na niou bolo té djapanté
Children of Africa, let us unite, let us join hands
Bougnou djapanté geuneu am dolé

So that, finally, my dream will come true
