Translation of the song Ingrata artist Cesária Évora

Oh mar, oh mar, oh menina

Oh sea, oh sea, oh girl

Dexam tchorá

Let me cry

Sodade di bo m´crêtcheu

I miss you, my beloved

Quêl ingrata que bai que dixâm

That ungrateful one, let her go and leave me alone

Que dixâm co sodade na coraçon

That leaves my heart with yearning

Ma m'tem fé! Ma inda el ta volta

I'll keep the faith! She will return

Até um dia si deus quiser!

Until one day if it's God's will!

Um dia molha o florzinha

One day I'll see the little flower

Que bai volver

And it will return

Dam um consolo

To give me comfort

na nha vida

in my life
