Cesária Évora - Esperanca Irisada lyrics

My beloved granddaughter
Little girl that I bless
With your light and smiling eyes
Iridescent hope

My beloved granddaughter
Little girl that I bless
With your light and smiling eyes
Iridescent hope

In your smile there is a dream, Cape Verde
Full of innocence and good people
A Cape Verde that I long for
For you and all it's children
My beloved little girl
Mischievous and beautiful
Joy of your parents hope of Cape Verde

I heard a voice whispering
"laia, come back soon laia, we love you so"
I sing and you dance a dance of happiness
To avert the maliciousness
That prowls in our life

My beloved granddaughter
Little girl that I bless
With your light and smiling eyes
Iridescent hope

Receive this little kiss
From your little grandmother
Who travels the world
But who doesn't forget you
Who thinks a lot of
Her actress granddaughter
Who see wants to see happy
In our sweet and small country
Where one can find peace and friendship
I heard a voice whispering
"laia, come back soon laia, we love you so"

I sing and you dance a dance of happiness
To avert the maliciousness
That prowls in our life

My beloved granddaughter
Little girl that I bless
With your light and smiling eyes
Iridescent hope

Receive this little kiss
From your little grandmother
Who travels the world
But who doesn't forget you
Who thinks a lot of
Her actress granddaughter
Who see wants to see happy
In our sweet and small country
Where one can find peace and friendship
My beloved granddaughter
Little girl that I bless
With your light and smiling eyes
Iridescent hope

My beloved granddaughter
Little girl that I bless
With your light and smiling eyes
Iridescent hope

My beloved granddaughter
Little girl that I bless
With your light and smiling eyes
Iridescent hope

My beloved granddaughter
Little girl that I bless
With your light and smiling eyes
