Текст и перевод песни Mayra Andrade - Dimokránsa

Dimokránsa

Kantádu ma dimokrasiâ,
Ma stába sukundidu,
Ma tudu dja sai na kláru
I nós tudu dja bira sabidu.
Kada um ku si maniâ
Fla rodóndu bira kuadrádu,
Kada um ku si tioriâ
Poi razom pendi di si ládu.
Ti Manel bira Mambiâ,
Ti Lobu bira Xibinhu,
Ti flánu ta faze majiâ
Ta poi grógu ta bira vinhu.
Mintira pom di kada dia,
Verdádi ka s'ta kontádu,
Nós tudu bira só finjidu
Ku kombérsu di dimagojiâ.
Vida bira simplismenti,
Konsedju bira ka ta obidu:
Tudu é agu na balai frádu
É rialidádi di oxindiâ.
Maioriâ sta tudu kontenti
Ku avontádi na dimokrasiâ
Fládu fla ka tem simenti,
Dipós di sábi móre é ka náda.
Inglés bem toma si tchom,
Sam-Fransisku bira más sábi,
M-kré odja róstu-nhu Djom
Ta ri ku si kumpadri.
Dja skesedu di Pepé Lópi
Bá rabuskádu Nhu Diogu Gómi,
Rasusitádu Nhu Kraveru Lópi,
Ka ta konxedu Inásia Gómi.
Ali bem témpu ditádu-Nhu Náxu
Ta bira sima juís di mininu
Gentis djunta grita abáxu
É kabésa ki dja perde tinu.

Democracy

I sing of democracy,
It was meant to help us grow,
But we've made it so complicated
That we've all become confused.
Everyone with their own opinion
Turns circles into squares,
Everyone with their own theory
And then wonders why we can't get along.
Manuel became Mambiá,
The Wolf became a Xibinhu,
Someone makes magic
And then turns grog into wine.
Lies, we tell them every day,
The truth is never told,
We've all become such hypocrites
With our demagogic talk.
Life was meant to be simple,
Advice was meant to be obeyed:
Everything is going to hell in a handbasket
That's the reality of this mess.
The majority are all content
With the illusion of democracy
They have their say, but nothing changes,
After all is said and done, nothing happens.
The English have taken over
San Francisco is now smarter,
M-kré, look at your friend Djom
He's just like your buddy.
We've forgotten about Pepé Lópi
And idolized Nhu Diogu Gómi,
Resurrected Nhu Kraveru Lópi,
And cursed Inásia Gómi.
Ali, who's been in power for so long
Is now acting like a child
People are shouting from below
He's lost his mind.
