1. Water
English translation

Tene bo kuidou
No jora malai
No sali kas pia bou
I tende bon di mamai (paso…)

KORO
Ata papa pasku ta bin (3x)

Su buki pisá
Tin un lista marka
Ku nomber d'jesnan
ku ta mala mucha

KORO
Ata papa pasku ta bin (3x)

I ora bo ta drumi
E ta keda lantá
Pa parti ye'i regalo pa
esnan kua komporta

pues

Tene bo kuidou
No jora malai
No sali kas pia bou
I tende bon di mamai (paso)

KORO
Ata papa pasku ta bin (3x)


The purest energy of life
it washes, it washes

Magic of our nature
It quenches, it quenches

The majestic part of every creation
It fills the world with flowers
It lathers if you have soap
It quenches thirst and heat as only it can do it

Source of all growth
it multiplies, it multiplies

Calm yet furious companion
powerful, powerful
All pain of the mind and the soul
it pacifies, it pacifies

The majestic part of every creation
It fills the world with flowers
It lathers if you have soap
It soothes thirst and heat

CHORUS
Necessary for life, we need water
It grows, it nurtures
you can swim in it
just to look at, to get wet in or just to clean with
water

We need fresh water
water
We need fresh water
water

Source of all growth
it multiplies, it multiplies

CHORUS
Necessary for life, we need water
It grows, it nurtures
you can swim in it
just to look at, to get wet in or just to clean with
water

We can’t live without it
water, water
We can’t live without it
water, water, water
