Dimokránsa

Kantádu ma dimokrasiâ,Ma stába sukundidu,Ma tudu dja sai na kláruI nós tudu dja bira sabidu.Kada um ku si maniâFla rodóndu bira kuadrádu,Kada um ku si tioriâPoi razom pendi di si ládu.Ti Manel bira Mambiâ,Ti Lobu bira Xibinhu,Ti flánu ta faze majiâTa poi grógu ta bira vinhu.Mintira pom di kada dia,Verdádi ka s’ta kontádu,Nós tudu bira só finjiduKu kombérsu di dimagojiâ.Vida bira simplismenti,Konsedju bira ka ta obidu :Tudu é agu na balai fráduÉ rialidádi di oxindiâ.Maioriâ sta tudu kontentiKu avontádi na dimokrasiâFládu fla ka tem simenti,Dipós di sábi móre é ka náda.Inglés bem toma si tchom,Sam-Fransisku bira más sábi,M-kré odja róstu-nhu DjomTa ri ku si kumpadri.Dja skesedu di Pepé LópiBá rabuskádu Nhu Diogu Gómi,Rasusitádu Nhu Kraveru Lópi,Ka ta konxedu Inásia Gómi.Ali bem témpu ditádu-Nhu NáxuTa bira sima juís di mininuGentis djunta grita abáxuÉ kabésa ki dja perde tinu.

Lopsided democracy

It was said that democracyWas like a hidden treasureBut now that it has been foundWe have all opened our eyesAnd each one, relying on his judgement,Confidently declared that what was round was in fact square,And went to work, with a great many theories,To prove that he was rightAnd Manuel became MaryWolves became lambs,While others used magicTo turn rum into wine.Lies became our daily lotAnd truth went backstageWe all became accustomed to hiding ourselvesBehind verbal diarrhoea tainted with demagogy?Henceforth, simplicity prevailsAnd no-one listens to the advice of othersNo point in giving any, no-one would listen anyway!This is the world we are growing up in.The majority is satisfied,Happily paddling in its democracy.Today’s rumours have no tomorrow,When you have known pleasure, death is no longer truly frightening.The English came to occupy their land,São Francisco became a livelier place,I want to see Monsieur Jean opposite,Laughing with his friend.Pépé Lópi has been forgottenDiogo Gomes has been brought up to date,Craveiro Lopes has been exhumed,As for Inacia Gomes, no-one knows her any longer.The time will come when old Náxu’s opinionsWill not be held in higher esteem than those of a babe in arms.People will come together and cry: enough!
