My beloved granddaughter
 Little girl that I bless
 With your light and smiling eyes
 Iridescent hope
 My beloved granddaughter
 Little girl that I bless
 With your light and smiling eyes
 Iridescent hope
 In your smile
 There is a dream, Cape Verde
 Full of innocence
 And good people
 A Cape Verde that I long for
 For you and all its children
 My beloved little girl
 Mischievous and beautiful
 Joy of your parents
 Hope of Cape Verde
 I heard a voice
 Whispering
 "laia, come back soon
 laia, we love you so"
 I sing and you dance
 A dance of happiness
 To avert the maliciousness
 That prowls in our life
 My beloved granddaughter
 Little girl that I bless
 With your light and smiling eyes
 Iridescent hope
 Receive this little kiss
 From your little grandmother
 Who travels the world
 But who doesn't forget you
 Who thinks a lot of
 Her actress granddaughter
 Who see wants to see happy
 In our sweet and small country
 Where one can find peace
 And friendship
