PAUL PENA lyrics - Tras D'Orizao (Beyond The Horizon)

[Verse:]

Tras d'orizao teng terra, teng terra long' teng mar i seu.

Na mar i seu teng Jar Brava,

Jar Brava'nya terra, terra'd'nya cre cheu.



[Repeat verse]



Beyond the horizon, there is a land, sea, and sky.

In the sea and sky is Jar Brava,

Jar Brava is my land and the land of my sweetheart.



[Bridge:]

Mos, bo ke nya'mig mand'es cartinya,

O bu ta lebal pa nya cre cheu?

Ora k(i)bu chiga'la bu ta fram'el,

Ki m ta sinti sodadi lonji.

Dor di pashao m teng amor di bai Cabo Verd'.



[Repeat bridge]



Oh, young man, my friend, take this letter for me,

Please you will take it to my darling?

When you get there tell her for me,

That I feel great home sickness (longing),

And pain, and passion; I long to return to Cabo Verde.



[Instrumental]



[Repeat verse twice, repeat bridge twice.]
