lyrics

I Djarabi Sule Kurra
Nhantalá Kanunhogo
Chega a noite e no teu corpo esconde-se o mar
Sule Kurra Nhantalá
Dizem que és feito de sal
I Djarabi Sule Kurra
Nhantalá
O mar não sabe se beijarei teu corpo à noite
Teu corpo de noite não sabe
Ele só me fala da sua fúria de areia
Quisera prender fogo na terra, mas é água
Tilibeborra Sulé Kurra
Amor anoitecer e te levar
Dianmo Sole Kurra
Indjara Be Nimidje Inte Té
Sinola Nimindje Inte Té Lala
Vem, traz tua lembrança
do fundo até à beira da alma
Wai Djarabi Lé
Chega a noite e no teu corpo esconde-se o mar
I Djarabi, I Djarabi, Ohoh Djarabi
Amor anoitecer e te levar
Kanunhogo, I Djarabi
Nos braços te perder e te encontrar


Querida, só à noite vamos dormir juntos
O sol vai nascer, para depois anoitecer
Chega a noite e no teu corpo esconde-se o mar
Companheira, já anoiteceu. Vem
Dizem que és feito de sal
O mar não sabe se beijarei teu corpo à noite
Teu corpo de noite não sabe
Ele só me fala da sua fúria de areia
Quisera prender fogo na terra, mas é água
Querida se não te vejo eu não consigo nem deitar-me
Aonde estás tu querida?
Amor anoitecer e te levar
Querida, só à noite vamos dormir juntos
Vem, traz tua lembrança
do fundo até à beira da alma
Chega a noite e no teu corpo esconde-se o mar
Querida se não te vejo eu não consigo nem deitar-me
Amor anoitecer e te levar
Nos braços te perder e te encontrar


Dear, only at night we will sleep together
The sun will rise, then dusk
Night falls and your body hides the sea
Lifemate, night fell. Come
They say you're made of salt
The sea does not know if I'll kiss your body at night
Your body does not know night
He just tells me about its sandy fury
Wanted to hold fire on earth, but it is water
Dear, if I don’t see you I cannot even lie down
Where are you dear?
Love nightfall and to take you
Dear, only at night we will sleep together
Come, bring your memory
from the bottom to the edge of the soul
Night falls and your body hides the sea
Dear if I don’t see you I can not even lie down
Love nightfall and to take you
In the arms to loose you and to meet you
