Below, I translated the lyrics of the song África by Rui Veloso from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Eu gostava de ir um dia a áfrica
I'd like to go to Africa one day
Terra de onde veio toda a música
Land where all the music came from
Terra onde o sol enxuga o pranto
Earth where the sun wipes weeping
E onde a dor se transforma em canto
And where pain turns into a corner
Eu gostava de cantar em áfrica
I liked to sing in Africa
E dizer o que me vai no fundo
And say what's going to go to me in the background
Tua liberdade vale muito mais
Your freedom is worth much more
Que todos os diamantes do mundo
That all the diamonds in the world
Did you know?
