CABO VERDE


 

 

Ten islands in the middle of the ocean

 You can be so far away but in my heart and mind you will always be with me

I came so far to have a better life but I will go back one day my Beautiful Country.

The sound of your music

The smile of your people

The smell of your flowers

Are some of the things I will carry With me because they are the Memories Of my Childhood

I'm your daughter like many others who Left you and the families they love to Find something better

I'm so far now but someday, CABO VERDE, I will be able to be closer

 No matter where I go and what I do I will have you in my heart

 To all your sons and daughters here and out there in the world I only ask To be true Capeverdeans and unify Without hate, because we are all here For the same reason "SEARCHING FOR A BETTER FUTURE"

I will always remember who I am and where I came from

I AM CAPEVERDEAN and I will always be PROUD OF IT
