🇨🇻 The Whole World Knows Our Name | Cabo Verde World Cup Anthem

V5.5

[Intro] (Ocean waves, distant Afro percussion, heartbeat pulse, stadium ambience) (Stomp-Stomp-Clap) CABO! VERDE! CABO! VERDE! [Verse 1] Ten islands, one heartbeat, born from the salt Raised by the wind, we don't know how to halt From the island sky to the freezing rain Different cities, but the blood is the same One people, one flag, the pulse of the drum The Blue Sharks circle, the time has come [Pre-Chorus] (Building intensity) We play with Morabeza, we fight with our soul The warmth of our home inside every goal They looked at the map, thought we were too small... They measured our islands. They forgot to measure the ocean. [Chorus] (Full band, stadium lift, crowd chants) Now the whole world knows our name! (HEY!) The whole world knows our name! (OH!) From the Atlantic deep to the brightest flame The whole world knows our name! [Verse 2] The Spanish rhythm crashed against our shore The South American kings heard the ocean roar They tried to break the tide, they tried to hold the line But Blue Sharks rise, the tide remembers us Even the greatest giants felt the island wind [Pre-Chorus] (Building intensity) We play with Morabeza, we fight with our soul The warmth of our home inside every goal They looked at the map, thought we were too small... They measured our islands. They forgot to measure the ocean. [Chorus] (Full band, bigger crowd) Now the whole world knows our name! (HEY!) The whole world knows our name! (OH!) The Blue Sharks rise, the ocean knows our name! The whole world knows our name! [Bridge] (Almost a cappella, piano, distant ocean ambience) Nobody knew our shores... Now the world sings our song. The ones we left behind... Are where we belong. For every child in Praia, For every son far away... We didn't come to conquer, We came to light the flame... (A cappella) They measured our islands... They forgot to measure the ocean. [Final Chorus] (Biggest stadium explosion) CABO! (HEY!) VERDE! (OH!) NÔS POVO! Now the whole world knows our name! CABO! (HEY!) VERDE! (OH!) NÔS POVO! The whole world knows our name! Blue Sharks call the ocean home! (Nôs sonho! Nôs bandeira!) Yeah, the whole world knows our name! [Outro] (Ocean waves, crowd fading) Ten islands... One heartbeat...
