Armando De Pina: Music
Grupo Sem Igual
(“Alma Cabo-verdiana”.....Armando De Pina.....click title for lyrics)
Qui note sabe ambientado
De um grupo sem igual,
Tudo di ses par na peto,
Criola 'strela ta brilha.
Nes salao maravilhoso,
Musica doce influenciado,
Tudo unido em harmonia,
Num amizade sem rival.
Minizo nobo ca nhos 'squice
Di mante nos tradicao,
El e raiz de Cabo Verde,
Ai nhos regal ca d'xal seca.
ENGLISH
Unrivaled Group
What a joyful and exciting night
With this unrivaled group,
All bearing their dancing pairs,
"Crioalas" shining at their best.
On this marvelous dance floor,
Sweet and cadenced music,
All united with harmony,
And unrivaled friendship.
Young people, don't forget
To preserve our tradition,
It's part of our Cape Verdean roots,
Please nurture it, so it won't dry.
