1995 PORTUGAL 21 PLACE: BAUNILA E CHOCOLATE TO CRUZ

Baunilha e chocolate	Vanilla and chocolate
Que povo é este, teu e meu	Who are these people, yours and mine
Onde passou deitou raíz?	Whom had spread roots wherever they went?
Mudou o mar, mudou o céu	They changed the sea, they changed the sky
Onde não era amanheceu	Where there was no dawn
Fez do mundo o seu país	They made the world their country
E o teu avô andou por lá	Your grandfather was in these parts
A minha avó pôs cá o pé	My grandmother was here too
Nosso amor é todo mar	Our love is the entire ocean
Tens perfume de luar	Your perfume is moonlight
Tenho gosto de café	My taste is coffee
Amada de branca pele	My sweetheart with white skin
És nata no meu chá mate	You are the cream in my dark tea
Tem mais paladar que o mel	It's sweeter than honey
Casar baunilha com chocolate	A mixture of vanilla and chocolate
Gaivota branca foi achar	A white seagull was found
Naquelas terras mais a sul	In those southern lands
Gente doce e musical	Sweet and musical people
Que em seu canto tropical	Whose tropical singing
Pôs o sonho e o mar azul	Made the dream and the sea blue
Quem temperou o nosso amor	Who flavoured our love
Feito à guitarra e violão	Made by the Spanish and Portuguese guitar
No vai-vem da caravela	In the to-and-fro of caravels
Com pimenta e com canela	With pepper and cinnamon
Com gindungo e açafrão	With chilli and saffron?
Amada de branca pele	My sweetheart with white skin
És nata no meu chá mate	You are the cream in my dark tea
Tem mais paladar que o mel	It's sweeter than honey
Casar baunilha com chocolate	A mixture of vanilla and chocolate
Que povo é este que partiu	Who were those people who lifted anchor
E foi dobrar o Bojador?	And rounded Cape Bojador?
Este povo que sentiu o feitiço, o desafio	Those people who fell under the spell, the challenge
De inventar um novo amor	To invent a new love
Das mãos unidas nasce a flor	When hands are joined, a flower is born
E cada beijo sabe a paz	And each kiss is blissful peace
Quando a alma sente o amor	When our souls feel love
Tenha o corpo qualquer cor	Whatever the colour of our body
Preto ou branco tanto faz	Black or white is of no importance
Quando a alma sente o amor	When our souls feel love
Tenha o corpo qualquer cor	Whatever the colour of our body
Preto ou branco tanto faz	Black or white is of no importance
