Rica
I sit in the salt water, call in a vision of my daughter
– Mi ta sinta den awa salatu, mi ta invoca un vishon di mi yu muhé
Light a candle, place my grief upon the altar
– Sende un kandela, pone mi doló riba e altar
Bird in my hands, a flower, a song
– Bird in my hands, a flower, a song
I used to think I knew what sadness was
– E tabata pensa ku e tabata sa kiko tristesa tabata
I was wrong
– E tabata robes.
A piece of flesh, a million pounds
– Un pida karni, un miyon di libra
Am I a woman now?
– Mi ta un muhé awor?
The crescent moon, an apple sliced
– E luna kresente, un manzana ku a ser kibrá
Fig in the sky
– Figo den shelu
The air smells of fruit and smoke
– E aire ta sinti e aroma di fruta i huma
The season is ripe
– E temporada ta madura
I stay in the house, move the furniture about
– Mi ta keda den kas, mi ta move e mueblenan
Try and control what I can
– Purba kontrolá loke mi por
And feel the world slip through my hand
– I sinti e mundu glisá dor di mi man
You can have it all
– Bo por tin tur kos
You can have it all
– Bo por tin tur kos
Dug a hole in the garden and buried a scream
– El a kibra un buraco den e hòfi i a dera un gritu
And from it grew a bright red tree
– I for di dje a krese un palu kòrá briyante
Shining with jagged leaves
– Brilando ku blachi dentá
And when the wind blows, you can hear it
– I ora bientu sopla, bo por tende
Dug a hole in the garden and buried a scream
– El a kibra un buraco den e hòfi i a dera un gritu
And from it grew a bright red tree
– I for di dje a krese un palu kòrá briyante
Shining with jagged leaves
– Brilando ku blachi dentá
And when the wind blows, you can hear it
– I ora bientu sopla, bo por tende
You can have it all
– Bo por tin tur kos
You can have it all
– Bo por tin tur kos
(You can have it all)
– (Bo por tin tur kos)
A piece of flesh, a million pounds
– Un pida karni, un miyon di libra
Am I a woman now?
– Mi ta un muhé awor?
(You can have it all)
– (Bo por tin tur kos)
Tree grows tall, can’t cut me down
– E palu ta krese haltu, e no por kibra mi
Am I a woman now?
– Mi ta un muhé awor?
