Paroles et traduction Mayra Andrade - Konsiénsia

Konsiénsia

Penumbra dja nvadí-m spritu
Láguas intchí-m na petu
Nha gritu ki dura mudu
Nós fraternidáde surdu
Ngatchádu na ndiferénsa
Nu odja kusas stránhu
Tcheu d-ês era tristi
Nu ka fazi náda
I sempri nu sisti
Ah konsiénsia!
Nha konsiénsia ka-bu durmi más ki si
Korda pa-m podi riaji
Konsola tchoru maguádu
Labánta nu bem muda mundo!
Ah konsiénsia!
Nha konsiénsia ka-bu durmi más ki si
Mostrâ-m óra di kel abrásu
Djuntá-nu pa-nu buli mundu!
Ka-bu dexâ-m sima saku baziu,
Sima pedra parádu na fundu d-es riu,
Tomâ-m kónta-kabésa
Pa sangi subi-m na korpu!
Nha gritu pa justisa
É kánta pa igualdádi,
Sé pa-m tchora njustisa
Xa-m kánta pa igualdádi
I manifesta pa liberdádi
Ah konsiénsia!
Nha konsiénsia tomá-nu kónta-kabésa
Pa nós tudo bem korda
I alkánsa umanidádi,
Pa-nu vivi kumanidádi

Conscience

Shadows have invaded my spirit
Tears drown me in sorrow
My cries are swallowed in the void
Our brotherhood has gone deaf
We have become indifferent
We see the suffering of others
But our hearts remain heavy
We do nothing
And we continue to suffer
Oh, my conscience!
My conscience will not let me rest in peace
When I could have offered comfort
Consoled the weeping child
Let us rise and change the world!
Oh, my conscience!
My conscience will not let me rest in peace
Show me the path to salvation
Let us unite to save the world!
Do not let me be a passive observer,
A stone lying at the bottom of this river,
Take control of my mind
And lead me to victory!
My voice cries out for justice
A song for equality,
If I see injustice
I will sing for equality
And I will fight for freedom
Oh, my conscience!
My conscience, take control of my mind
So that we may all remember
And achieve humanity,
So that we may live as humans
