Thanks for sharing Oct 26, 2007

Thanks for sharing this, Jacek. I didn't know the song and it surely was a good time I "wasted".

I cannot help you, though. This is creole (crioulo), a Portuguese-based dialect, in this case. I can understand most of the lyrics, but not all, really.

Just give you a bit of the chorus (?):

Terra longe à vista é doce promessa
Mas que vais fazer... indiferença
Um sonho nascido na porta da ilusão
Ir para longe nao sei, um solução

Some of the words I just guessed.

"Embarcacao" lyrics Dec 17, 2011

Cześć Jacku, (Hi Jacek)

Oto słowa "Embarcacao": (Here are the "Embarcacao" lyrics:)


Cesaria Evora feat. Kayah
"Embarcacao"

Ai, ness mundo ca tem sô sofrimento
Ma naquel olhar cheio di mágoa
Modê crê tão cedo na felecidade
Tcheu titá fogá na solidão

Ma na embarcação quta levá nôs vida
Um bom timonero nô ta desejá, pa guiá-no
Na temporal nô ta reá vela
Pa nô ca perdê na profun... See more

"Embarcacao"

Ai, ness mundo ca tem sô sofrimento
Ma naquel olhar cheio di mágoa
Modê crê tão cedo na felecidade
Tcheu titá fogá na solidão

Ma na embarcação quta levá nôs vida
Um bom timonero nô ta desejá, pa guiá-no
Na temporal nô ta reá vela
Pa nô ca perdê na profundeza dum amargura

Terra longe à vista é um doce promessa
Ma qui ta desfazê nindiferença
Um sonho nascê na porto dilusão
Fgi pa longe parcê um solução
Ma na rota incerta di nôs destino
Nô ta pô esperança num brisa mansa e constante

Pintchi vela dnôs existencia
E na paz levá, assim, nôs nau
Pum horizonte cheio di luz e bonança

Pintchi vela dnôs existencia
E na paz levá, assim, nôs nau
Pum horizonte di luz e bonança
