Petit Pays

You're a star in the sky
That doesn't shine
At sea, you are sand
That doesn't get wet
Spread across the world
Only rocks and sea
 
Poor land, full of love
It has morna, it has coladera
Nice land, full of love
It has batuco, it has funaná
 
Oh, so homesick
longing, longing
Oh, so homesick
endless longing
 
Small country, I love you very much
Small country, I love it very much

Cape Verde provided a stopover on the transatlantic slave trading route. Moreover, plantations were established there. However, #earlymodern Cabo Verdean society was decidedly mixed. (1/7)
