Lyrics:

De Cabinda a Cunene
Festa sábi porta em porta
Surrise na rost chei d'alegria
Surrise na rost chei d'alegria

Carnaval la na ginal
Festival nacional
Ke dia grandi imortal
Ke dia grandi imortal

Paz d'espirit pa tud gent
Paz na Angola k'nós tud crê
Paz d'espirit pa tud gent
Paz na Angola k'nós tud crê

Terra sábi sem igual
Sem frontera e sem kansera
Um Angola ideal
Um Angola ideal

Ambienti fobulose
Pov sábi maravilhose
D'um puréza espantose
D'um puréza espantose

Paz d'espirit pa tud gent
Paz na Angola k'nós tud crê
Paz d'espirit pa tud gent
Paz na Angola k'nós tud crê


Translation:


From Cabinda to Cunene
Good parties from door to door
A smile on the face full of happiness
A smile on the face full of happiness

Carnaval at the Marginal
National festival
What a great and mortal day
What a great and mortal day

Peace of spirit for all
Peace in Angola that we all want
Peace of spirit for all
Peace in Angola that we all want

Beautiful country without equal
Without borders and without weariness
An ideal Angola
An ideal Angola

Fabulous atmosphere
Great and marvelous people
Of an amazing purity
Of an amazing purity

Peace of spirit for all
Peace in Angola that we all want
Peace of spirit for all
Peace in Angola that we all want

I agree, highly mutable, protean even. The way the melody moves up and down as it sashays around the circle of fifths. Quite enjoyable.

might work in another setting than working through swedish winter.... now it doesn't work at all :-(

Tequila... Chiquita... Sombrero... Casa... Mari... El nuevo sol.... ... A beach house... Rico Delgado.. I've no idea what I'm trying to say... musica, musica......
