Petit Pays Sheet Music

by Cesária Évora

Petit Pays was written by Teófilo Chantre, recorded in 1994 and released on Cesária Évora’s 1995 album Cesária. "Petit Pays" is a morna written by Cape Verdean songwriter Teófilo Chantre and sung by Cesária Évora, evoking nostalgic love for her "little country" and helping to define her international image. The song became one of Évora’s best‑known titles, strongly associated with Cape Verde’s identity, and was later reworked by the French group Hocus Pocus under the title "Quitte à t'aimer".
