[Intro: Madonna]
Sodade
That's the next song I'm gonna sing
By Cesária Évora
Oh yeah
But I'm gonna need a little help
Someone to sing with me
Ladies and gentlemen, please help me welcome
The king of Funana, Dino d'Santiago, give it up!

[Spoken: Dino d'Santiago & Madonna]
Boa noite, Lisboa!
Ah, you said that so good you must speak Portuguese
Boa noite Lisboa!
That's good
I have to say it's a very hard language to learn
Oh but you learned the perfect way
And to be honest, what you are doing with our culture, with our people, like bringing all of us to the United States, to the world
And sharing to the world our story is something that we will never, ever forget, thank you
So, listen, this next song, "Sodade", was made famous by one of my favourite singers, Cesária Evóra, another amazing woman from Cabo Verde
That's true
And Dino's gonna sing along with me and I couldn't be happier
So are you ready?
Are you gonna sing every word?
You better!
Creole!
Go on, M
Another language I had to learn
And again you did it
'Cause you're my PL
I tried, new way!

[Verse 1: Madonna & Dino d'Santiago]
Ken mostra-b es caminho lonji?
Ken mostra-b es caminho lonji?
Es caminho pa São Tomé
Beautiful
Ken mostra-b es caminho lonji?
Ken mostra-b es caminho lonji?
Es caminho pa São Tomé
Lisboa!

[Chorus: Madonna & Dino d'Santiago]
Sodade (So-sodade), sodade (So-sodade)
Sodade des nha terra São Nicolau
Sodade, sodade
Sodade des nha terra São Nicolau
Nós tudo!

[Verse 2: Dino d'Santiago]
Si bo screvê-m, m'ta screvê-b
Si bo skesê-m, m'ta skesê-b
Até dia ki bo voltá
Vamos, Madonna
Si bo screvê-m, m'ta screvê-b
Si bo skesê-m, m'ta skesê-b
Até dia ki bo voltá

[Chorus: Madonna, Dino d'Santiago, Madonna & Dino d'Santiago]
Sodade, sodade
Sodade des nha terra São Nicolau
Sodade des nha terra São Nicolau
Sodade, sodade
Sodade des nha terra São Nicolau
Hey!

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus: Madonna, Dino d'Santiago, Madonna & Dino d'Santiago]
Lisbon, now it's your turn!
Sodade, let me hear you sing! (So-sodade), sodade (So-sodade)
Sodade des nha terra São Nicolau
Hey hey hey!
Sodade, sodade
Sodade des nha terra São Nicolau
Barulho for Madonna, família make some noise!
