Paroles et traduction Maria De Barros - Nos Tradicon

Nos Tradicon

Kantu nos burro zurra
Ki nos baca bomba
Nos galu canta
Terral risca
Nha pe na tchon
Nha enxada na mon
E ambicao
D'un trabadjador
Kantu tchuba tchobe
Terra secu volta verdi
Fidjon na padjigal
Batata pa tudu tchada
Faba sapatinha
Midju pa faze garnel
Odja nha maria
Dja kola tchabeta
Ola nho djon
Dja rapica tambor
Odja membras
Dja da ku tornu
Ola sabura
Dja xinta na tchada
Lulu di kutelu
Panha midjo el faze gaita
Nho djon rapica tambor
Nha maria kola tchabeta
Membras da ku tornu
Sabura xinta na tcheda
E um groguinho sabi
La di ilha santo anton
Ami ku
Nha violao na peitu
Tudu na meio
Di nos tradicon

They Betrayed Us

Your donkey sings
Your goats bleat
Your rooster crows
The wind blows
My feet are in the dust
My hoe is in the ground
And the ambition
Of a worker
Your dog barks
The dry earth turns green
Fiddles in the fields
Potatoes for everyone
Tiny beans
Corn to make flour
Listen to me, Maria
They broke their promise
Hello, my John
They've stopped playing the drums
Listen, members
They've turned their backs on us
Hello, Sabura
They've refused to eat
Lulu the little donkey
She took the corn and made a flute
John, play the drums
Maria, break your promise
Members, turn your backs on us
Sabura, refuse to eat
And a little bit of rum, please
From the island of Santo Antão
Me, with
My guitar on my chest
All together
In our tradition
