Paroles et traduction Helio Batalha - Ncrê Ser

Ncrê Ser

Nkre ser kel raiu de luz ki ta desponta madrugada, kel pasu, pasu firme di vitoria na bu scada
Nkre ser mas ki rima, mas ki flou mas ki nota mas ki bu amor, ki melodia mas ki viola
Nkre ser mas ki mi, talves parcem assi
Um dia nta consigui, ser um Luther King

Nkre ser esensia, mas ki aula di bu skola
Nkre ser eternu na tempu dja txiga hora
Entre neblinas de skinas, entre txeu vidas
Na meio xasinas na mei de guerras, brigas, mi nkre ser paz

Entre fadigas na meiu de linhas de cocaínas, ko duvida, nkre ser mas ki herói pan libertas
Nkre ser mas puru, toma banhu na água benta
Nkre ser futuru, voz pa dura moda lenda
Ncre ser pantera, trilha caminhus, Mandela, vielas, scadas, celas, nkre ser kel portom di bu favela

Nkre ser bombas lomotov na ses parlamentu
Nkre ser povu emancipadu longi sofrimentu
Ser kel justisa, kel premisa ki ta guia tudu humanu
Nkre ser mas lindu di bus sentimentu

Felisidadi na rostu tudu kriansa (nkre ser)
Fomi pa kaba, gosi e hora de bonansa (nkre ser)
Ser kel mendigu ki ka mesti di materia (nkre ser)
Ser kel mas riku di virtud i li na terra (nkre ser)

Nkre ser silensiu ki ta habita polu norti, ta invadi mentis sábios i ta tornas de kes mas forti
Nkre ser mas loku na verdadi
Si kes mas dodu é kes mas sábio, ntom nkre ba mora na trindadi
Nkre ser legitimu pan screbi nha propi storia

Inabalável mo fronteras de Etiópia
Nkre ser xintidu zona ponta ti Mongólia
Entri surizu, xinti laguas di nhas tropas
Nkre ser premisas ideologias de Cabral

Nkre ser kel flor di revolution na kel novu amanhecer
Nkre ser speransa, impulsu puru natural
Definitivamenti irmons apenas mi nkre ser
Apenas mi nkre ser

Apenas mi nkre ser
Apenas mi nkre ser

Ncre ser kel txuba fresku, na teras sekus di Kabo Verdi
Pan alimenta kes ki te fomi i mata sedi
Nkre ser realeza, nha tezoru e nha humildadi
Nkre ser kel txabi, poi na grade tudu boka fedi

Nkre ser soldadu, kontingensia Sankara
Nkre ser klemensia na ruas di Bagdad
Nkre ser pasensia na kurasom di bu mama i o ki pom ca ten i bo cu fomi laguas ta baza
Nkre ser konsensia na situasons di sofrimentu, ser mas amigu sta na bu ladu mas ki toki de bentu

Nkre ser kel livru karregadu konhesimentu
Pan inxinabu kuzas simplis xinti moda sentimentu
Nkre ser sol forti na bus tardis di invernu
Pan akeseu ku nha kalor, pou xinti nha sabor fraternu

Nkre ser mas ser, pamo ninguen e ka perfeitu
Moda Gandhi, nkre ser grande de nha jeitu
Sen interesi, nkre ser simenti pa germina
I spadja polén de amor pa purifika tudu skina

Sem kel konversa, relason ka podi dura
Nkre ser palavras de afeto, na nos noti di aventura
Nkre ser fortuna milionariu di amizadi
Sem iludi ku quantidadi, pamo nkre ser kel qualidadi

Si bu kaminhu ka sa trankuilo, nkre ser seguransa
Pan dou nha mo, o ku sa tristi sen perseveransa
Nkre ser montanha karega plantas na nha kosta
Mo guardion de natureza, guarda rios e floresta

Nkre ser festa, ma tudu ku moderason
Pamo nos sexta dja poi munti jovem na kaxon
Nkre ser kel povu na kalor de manifestason
Kontra injustisa kometidus na nomi de sifron

Nkre ser kel fogu la na pe di Bábilon
Si morte ke soluson, ntom djam komesa nha meditason
Dezabafa, ko tem medo de nha opinion
Nkre ser moderason nes mundo xeiu divergensia, confuson

Mi ke Batalha, nkre sta na frenti rebelion
Ku nha garganta, labanta jovens ser mas um voz de nos nason
Ntom dan nha lansa
Po nkre ser mas ki sidadon, nkre ser exemplo de amor dedicason e emancipason abrasa

Nkre ser mas ki revoluson, na prasa irmon
Trilha kaminhus de bu corason

I Want to Be

I want to be that ray of light that dawns at dawn, that step, firm step of victory on your staircase
I want to be more than rhyme, more than flow, more than note, more than your love, more than melody, more than viola
I want to be more than myself, maybe it seems that way
One day I will succeed, be a Luther King

I want to be essence, more than a lesson from your school
I want to be eternal in time, the time has come
Between mists of skins, between different lives
Amidst murders, in the midst of wars, fights, I want to be peace

Among fatigues in the midst of lines of cocaine, with no doubt, I want to be more than a hero for freedom
I want to be purer, take a bath in holy water
I want to be the future, a voice for hard, legendary fashion
I want to be a panther, walk paths, Mandela, alleys, stairs, cells, I want to be that door of your favela

I want to be Molotov cocktails in their parliament
I want to be an emancipated people, far from suffering
To be that justice, that premise that guides every human
I want to be more beautiful than your feeling

Happiness on the face of every child (I want to be)
Hunger to end, thirst and time of good fortune (I want to be)
To be that beggar who doesn't need material things (I want to be)
To be the richest in virtue and lie on the earth (I want to be)

I want to be the silence that inhabits the north pole, invades wise minds and makes them stronger
I want to be crazier in truth
If the craziest is the wisest, then I want to live in the trinity
I want to be legitimate to write my own story

Unshakeable at the borders of Ethiopia
I want to be felt at the tip of Mongolia
Between sunrises, feel the waters of my troops
I want to be the premises, the ideologies of Cabral

I want to be that flower of revolution in that new dawn
I want to be hope, pure natural impulse
Definitely, brothers and sisters, I just want to be
I just want to be

I just want to be
I just want to be

I want to be that cool rain, on the dry lands of Cape Verde
To feed those who are hungry and kill their thirst
I want to be royalty, my treasure is my humility
I want to be that key, because in the bars everyone has bad breath

I want to be a soldier, Sankara's contingency
I want to be clemency in the streets of Baghdad
I want to be patience in your mother's heart and what little I can have and you with hungry waters flowing
I want to be conscience in situations of suffering, to be more friend by your side than the sound of the wind

I want to be that book loaded with knowledge
To teach simple things, feel fashion, feeling
I want to be strong sun in your winter afternoons
So that with my warmth, you can feel my fraternal flavor

I want to be more being, because no one is perfect
Like Gandhi, I want to be great in my own way
Without interest, I want to be a seed to germinate
And spread pollen of love to purify every corner

Without that conversation, the relationship cannot last
I want to be words of affection, in our nights of adventure
I want to be a millionaire fortune of friendship
Without being deceived by quantity, because I want to be that quality

If your path is not calm, I want to be security
To give my hand to you, who are sad without perseverance
I want to be a mountain carrying plants on my back
As a guardian of nature, guarding rivers and forests

I want to be a party, but all with moderation
Because on Fridays they already put a lot of young people in boxes
I want to be that people in the heat of demonstration
Against injustices committed in the name of money

I want to be that fire there at the foot of Babylon
If death is the solution, then let me start my meditation
Vent, who is afraid of my opinion
I want to be moderation in this world full of divergence, confusion

I want Battle, I want to be in front of the rebellion
With my throat, raise young people to be one more voice of our nation
Then give me my spear
So I can be more than a citizen, I want to be an example of love, dedication and embrace emancipation

I want to be more than a revolution, in the square, brother
Walk the paths of your heart
