lyrics

KRIOL

Nh'amor e dos
Nh'amor e sertu
Nh'amor ta lonj
Nh'amor ta pertu
El ta na mim
N ka ta sozinh
N’es mund

Nh'amor ka so di kretxeu
El e un amor d’un Kriston
Ki ka kre vivê
Na mei di breu
Nh'amor e tudu k N ten
El e amor d’un irmon
K'até inda ka perdê fe

Txa-m kantá-bo nh'amor
O mundo!
Txa-m kanta-bo nh'amor
Pa no amá

ENGLISH

My love is sweet
My love is certain
My love is far
My love is near
My love is within me
So I am not alone
in this world

My love is not only a romantic one
My love is also the love of a good soul
Who doesn’t want to live
In the midst of darkness
My love is all that I have
My love is the love of a brother
Who has not yet lost his faith

Let me sing to you, my love
Oh world
Let me sing to you, my love
So we can love each other
