Tylko tak mogło być [English translation]

[Anna Maria Jopek:]

I run when the morning comes,

Barefoot, the sea is shining,

Run to the rhythm my pulse drums

With the wind my fate defining

I run free without purpose

I run more with my feet tapping

On the beach's sandy surface

I run grateful and I'm happy

As I hear the voice of the wind, the sand, the waves

This voice reassures me that it's what was meant to be

I wonder no more as that was the only way

I wonder no more as that was the only way

[Tito Paris:]

This great love that I have for you, oh my beloved Cape Verdean girl

The tenderness that's in my chest, oh my longing to be with you

Oh the beauty of my people, oh the blue of the sea

Our sunrises and sunsets, I can't live without them

Oh the island of my heart, you are my guiding light and my hope

You bring peace to my soul, inspire, we can't be apart

A soft voice that always sings this morna song inside me

Island of peace, oi oi...

Oh sing, oh sing

Oh sing of this blue sea

Oh sing, the island of my love

[Anna Maria Jopek:]

Happy as I hear the voice of the wind, the sand, the waves

This voice reassures me that it's what was meant to be

I wonder no more as that was the only way

I wonder no more as that was the only way

[Tito Paris:]

Oh the island of my heart, you are my guiding light and my hope

You bring peace to my soul, inspire, we can't be apart

A soft voice that always sings this morna song inside me

Island of peace

Such a sweet land!

Let me sing along

Oh, island of blue sea

Oh sing, oh sing your love

Oh just sing...

[Anna Maria Jopek:]

as that was the only way
