June Freedom & Nelson Freitas - Dor d’um Kriolu (English Translation)
[Intro: Nelson Freitas]
Nami
Ai ai ai
Ai ai ai
Ai ai ai ai
Ai ai ai
Mr. Magic

[Verse: Nelson Freitas]
Today I woke up and drank my coffee
Worked out as usual
I want to go outside, but I can’t
They have me at home like a prisoner

[Pre-Chorus: Nelson Freitas]
Oh, I’m missing
Missing my family
Missing my people
I miss hugging them

Oh, I’m missing
Missing my family
Missing my people
Missing the good old days

[Chorus: Nelson Freitas]
Aye, they closed the border
Aye, I lost my ways
Please tell me what I can do
This is the pain of a Cape Verdean
Aye, they closed the border
Aye, I lost my ways
Please tell me what I can do
This is the pain of a Cape Verdean

[Verse: June Freedom]
My land, my home, my heart
My fountain of inspiration
I been around the world
But there’s no place like home

I want to get to my island Fogo
Go home
Get to my people and hug them
I’ve missed them so much
Pack up my suitcase
To go have a good time in Praia

If I was sick
Getting home would be the cure
I’m with DJ Banzi en route to the parties
Party til morning, it’s time to go home
But the crew wants to eat katxupa

[Bridge: June Freedom]
Oh, I miss it (Ya ya ya ya)
Oh, I miss it (Ya ya ya ya)
Oh, I miss it (Ya ya ya ya)
Oh, I miss it (Ya ya ya)
[Chorus: June Freedom]
(Aye, world) Aye, they closed the border
(Aye, world) Aye, I lost my ways
(Aye, world) Please tell me what I can do
(Aye, world) This is the pain of a Cape Verdean

(Aye, world) Aye, they closed the border
(Aye, world) Aye, I lost my ways
(Aye, world) Please tell me what I can do
(Aye, world) This is the pain of a Cape Verdean

[Outro: June Freedom]
Freedom
