*Lyrics*

Tan Kalakatan
Bu spadja
Bu bá ká Kaká
Bu disdangu-n
Bu apoka-n
Kantu N txiga kaza
N kon kon kon kon kon kon
Nada N ka atxa
Só xá ku insensu
Litratu ku gatu / viola
Panela tan kalakatan kalakatan
Kalakatan kalakatan
Ben, ma ben, kô bai nau ia
Kel tortu ki N fazi, N ta txapu fépu,
Ta fi ka bunitu sima nu staba, ta fi ka ben
 
Tan Kalakatan (Empty)
You up and left
You went to Kaká’s
You treated me with disdain
And diminished me
When I got home
I knocked and knocked and knocked
But there was nothing in the house
Just tea and incense
A portrait and the cat / my guitar
And an empty pan
Come, but come and don’t go
I’ll fix what I did wrong and make it beautiful
Just like it was before, everything will be alright

One thing i love about Colors is how they feature artists that speak different languages singing in their native tongue. You don't have to understand what they're saying to know that every artist that has been on this channel is 🔥

[JusticeMaxwell]

Imagine. I heard this song randomly on youtube one time and loved it. I've just come back from a holiday in Cape Verde and saw her perform live in a bar! So good

[lalailm]

Cape Verdean Creole is an amazing language omg

[kannibalkuma]

Once again Colors, you have made me fall in love with another artist I can't understand. Much appreciated.

[yeabsiraa]

Once she rolled her sleeves you know she’s about to kill it 🔥🔥

[rubensilva]

LISTEN ONCE: NICE BUT NOT ENOUGH
LISTEN TWICE: THIS IS VERY GOOD
LISTEN THIRD: Panela tan kalakatan kalakatan
Kalakatan kalakatan

[kemj]

Anyone else want a Colors music festival/ concert?

[camilawoser]

I smoked a blunt and cried, thanks from the bottom of my heart.

[bokangteboho]

Now I understand why people keep on saying "Music is a universal language"

[Lord_Mau_]

Could literally listen to this all day and I don't understand a word.

[bibiriela]

Mayra is amazing in any language she sings
whether is creole cape verdean, english or portuguese (both with accents from portugal and brazil)

[mutedearthvirgo]

oof when she pulled up her sleeves, i felt that on a spiritual level

[flaviaribeiro]

“Tan kalakatan” means Empty
If y’all was wondering

[xolisamax]

Omg, her jacket. Her hair. Her voice. Don't understand a thing. She reminds me of Sade.


Nice tune. (Edit) And those damn legs!! ❤❤

[Da_Man_]

0:39 rolling up the is how you know it’s about to get serious!

[luisleonelcostarodrigues]

Mayra Andrade is the sound of Africa, the Caribbean, the world ... in kriolu, Portuguese, English, French .... always divine !

[acrobaticcat]

This song makes me feel like I love someone I've never met

[melodiekyriu]

She's got such an incredible voice and my soul was vacuumed by her poetic gesture
