Oh Náia [English translation]

Oh Naia

How can I make it up to you?

For I've gone to Lisbon

But I brought you nothing

I bought a TV set

with VHS and DVD player

A computer for my son

And a doll for my younger daughter

My grandmother asked for this

My father asked for that

How was I supposed to pay for all?

It's hard when we have no money

At the immigration: "Ma'am, your luggage is too heavy

You have to pay for the excess"

Now, where is the money to do so?

So I started speaking creole

pretending I wasn't understanding him

Then he goes: "Ma'am, please hurry,

I ain't got all day"

Oh Naia

How can I make it up to you?

For I've gone to Lisbon

But I brought you nothing
