Afoga Nhas Maguas

Xam tenta afoga nhas manguas...
Xam tenta afoga nhas manguas...
Xam tenta afoga nhas manguas...
Xam tenta afoga nhas manguas...

Nkre so um tempo di bu tempo pam dexou ku um dica
Pmd problema na nos terra sa ta multiplica
I nos politicos na guerra sopartidarismu
É tipo viruz ta propaga moda paludismu

Si bo é ka num Partido bu opinion sta Neutro
Es fla ma jovens ke furutu mas nsa odja jovens Neutros
Religions dentu di Praia mas txeu ki loja de China
Emprego de rapaz na zona gosi é beku de skina

Jovens dja ka vira racistas so traz di brankas
Minix ku 4 namorado mas na kaza é santas
É so dpos di 9 mes pa mascra bem kai
É mod agulha na palhero busca kem ke pai

Es fla na África nos é menus coruptos
Txeka salarios di deputados pami é um absurdo
Na nha manera di odja kela é corupson
I bu vizinho na bu ladu sem nenhum tiston
Txeu bex bu txora bu implora bu pidi kel ajuda
Bu tenta fazi diferente mas nada ka muda
Bu passa riba bu orgulho pa mas um ajuda
Bu kria staba licenciado mas bu ka gosta studa

Bu sa ta odja situasson mo ki sta contici
É mesmu cenas di passado ciclo sa ta repiti
Otus ta fla ma fim di mundo é tipo apocalipso
Mas antes fim di mundo txiga mi nkre fika riku

I midjor dia di simana es fla me sexta fera
Otus pa es nem si ka existiba segunda fera
Nu kre so festa ku parodia nu kre vida boa
Tomada ki tudo simana tinha kel Gamboa

É pensamento material ki ta abita na mente
Nu kre dinheru nu kre kaza vida de presidente
I sai ta viaja mundo fora moda um turista
Fim di simana se ka Sal é na Boa Vista
Gosi é 2 cor preferida se ka verde é branca
Si sexta fera txiga djo sabi kuale u Mambu
I zona mas vizitadu se ka lima é calheta
Ndou um fala po panha pa bu interpreta

Xam tenta afoga nhas manguas...
Xam tenta afoga nhas manguas...
Xam tenta afoga nhas manguas...
Xam tenta afoga nhas manguas...

Xam tenta afoga nhas manguas...
Xam tenta afoga nhas manguas...
Xam tenta afoga nhas manguas...
Xam tenta afoga nhas manguas...

Drown My Sorrows

You try to drown my sorrows...
You try to drown my sorrows...
You try to drown my sorrows...
You try to drown my sorrows...

There used to be a time when you could be trusted
But problems in our land have multiplied
And our politicians are at war with partisanship
It's like a virus spreading like malaria

If you're not in a party, your opinion is neutral
There are so many young people who have a future but aren't neutral
There are so many religions in Praia but they're like Chinese shops
Jobs for young people in the neighborhood are like ice on the skin

Young people have become racists because of women
They may have 4 boyfriends but they're saints at home
It's only after 9 months that the mask comes off
It's like a needle in a haystack looking for a father

They say that in Africa we are less corrupt
Check the salaries of deputies and you'll see it's absurd
In my opinion, that's corruption
And your neighbor next to you without a single penny
You'll see him cry, beg, and plead for your help
You try to make a difference but nothing changes
You put your pride aside for one more favor
You thought you had a degree but you don't like to study

You'll see the situation that I'm in
It's the same as the past, the cycle repeats itself
Others say that the end of the world is like the apocalypse
But before the end of the world comes, I'll be rich

And the best day of the week is like Friday
Others would rather it didn't exist on Monday
We just want a party with a parody, we want a good life
Every week there was Gamboa

It's a material thought that dwells in the mind
We want money, we want a house, a presidential life
And to travel the world like a tourist
If it's not Sal, it's Boa Vista at the end of the week
So the 2 favorite colors are green and white
If Friday comes, you know who your Mambu is
And the most visited areas are Lima and Calheta
I'm just talking so you can interpret it

You try to drown my sorrows...
You try to drown my sorrows...
You try to drown my sorrows...
You try to drown my sorrows...

You try to drown my sorrows...
You try to drown my sorrows...
You try to drown my sorrows...
You try to drown my sorrows...
