"Praia Mãe"

Grandma, Grandma,
You thought I would grow old to see the day when all the sands were clear.
Still, we have a lot to change, Grandma,
We have to pick our toys out of the ground and clean away the fear.
The tide will come and go away, Grandma,
We should put our hearts to sail, Grandma
Sinhá, Sinhá,
Your children used to play down by the sea in naked skins of gold.
Then a gloomy cloud came down, Sinhá
And everything went dark and undermined and unbearably cold.
The tide will come and go away, Sinhá,
We should put our hearts to sail, Sinhá.
Diâ ta sai, noti ta entra,
N’ ka ta tra es pensaméntu di kabésa.
