Lyrics: Cesaria Evora. Nha Sentimento. Mam' bia E So Mi.

That's the bossom of Mam'Bia
Welcoming you with all her tenderness
At any time of day or night
It's your home your nest

You're her child: rest easy
Forget your pain and suffering
Gladden yor soul, set aside your "sodade"
Live your life, enjoy the moment

It's true that the world is hard

But here's Mam'Bia and her paradise
Offering you her happiness
Bury your distress, put on a smile

Mam'Bia's one of a kind, she's with you
Always remember her
She's prosperity and contentment
She's the sky that makes you happy
