Poc Li Denté É Tcheu

Mi ja-m oiá kma vida li tá mut difísilMá solusom ka emigrá pa bá sofréNa solabánk di mar, dbóx d’grit d’komandantI s’bo tchgá na térra é pa lová Nós Senhor Jezus Krist.

Ranja-m trabói m-kré fikáMi m-ka mesté pasaportNhas dokumént é:Nxada, martel, má nhas dos bróss.Ka-nhos pintcha-m pa-m bai,Fidj ka ta kriá na ninhu sem pai

Nha pai skrevê-mPa-m bá tratónd d’nhas papeladaMá nha korasomJa fla kma nãu : kaminh di bai !Má també m’ka podé, fká li d’riba parbóxSempr ta spiá trabóiMá um brók d’kaza k’é pa-m morá.

Ranja-m trabói k’é pa-m ganháAkel pãu di kada diaPok li-dént é tcheu, fortuna la fóra é fantazia.Ka-nhos pintcha-m pa-m bai,Fidj ka ta kriá na ninhu sem pai.

The Little That We Have Is A Lot

I know very well that life here is hardBut the solution is not to emigrate, to go and risk your lifeOn the sea’s mighty waves and suffering the captain’s wrath:And if you arrive safe and sound, you can give thanks to God!

Let me work, I want to stay hereI don’t need a passport,I already have all the documents I need:My hoe, my hammer and my two arms.Don’t force me to leave,You can’t raise children in a nest deserted by their father.

My father wrote to advise meTo get together the necessary papersBut my heart has already said no to the option of leaving.On the other hand, I cannot stay here, toing and froing,Looking for work that is impossible to findand an imaginary little house to live in.

Give me some work, just enough to earn my daily bread,The little we have here is already a great dealThe fortune that is meant to be waiting for us elsewhere is nothingbut a dream.Don’t make me leave,You can’t raise children in a nest deserted by their father.
