10. Strength
English translation

Kasi m’a keda sin nada
Ma mi forsa t’ei
Si aind’e t’ei
M’a kere mundu a kaba
Ma mi forsa t’ei
Si aind’e t’ei
Bida n’ tin koló
Mi ta sintimi so
Ma mi forsa t’ei

Ma poko poko m’a lanta
Pasó mi forsa t’ei
Si aind’e t’ei
Nada n’ ta pasa pòrnada
I mi forsa t’ei
Si aind’e t’ei

Nan di bida ta bunita, tuma tempu pa gos’é
Ma mi ti’un alma ye’i doló i ta p’esei
Mi a pèrdè for di bista un bèrdat, un sierto fe
Ku-ku-kurason kibrá o no, mi forsa semper ta den mi, si aind’e t’ei
Mi ta tur bruá
Desilushoná
Ma mi forsa t’ei

Konfia den bo forsa
Den loke bo tin, den bo
I no lubidá, ku bo forsa ta
Den bo

I awor ku tempu a pasa
Wak kon mi forsa t’ei
Si aind’e t’ei
M’a kura i haña un balansa
I mi forsa t’ei (akiden)
Si aind’e t’ei
Mi ta disfrut’é
Kanta hélele
Hmm, mi forsa t’ei


I was left with practically nothing
But I have my strength
Yes it’s still here
It felt like the world ended
But I have my strength
Yes it’s still here
Life has lost its colours
I feel so alone
But I have my strength

Slowly I picked myself up
Because I have my strength
Yes it’s still here
Nothing happens without a reason
And I have my strength
Yes it’s still here

They say life is beautiful, take time to enjoy it
But my soul is full of pain right now and that’s why
I lost track of a truth, a firm belief
That even with a broken heart, my strength is in me all the time, yes it’s still here
I’m confused
disappointed
But I still have my strength

Have faith in your strength
In what’s inside you
And don’t forget that your strength
Is always there

And now that time has passed
See, I still have my strength
Yes it’s still here
I recovered and found a balance
and I have my strength (in here)
Yes it’s still here
I enjoy it and sing hélele
Hmm, I my strength is here
