POEM

Roubaram-me tudo o que era meu
tentaram, me espesinhar
e ate me enterrar vivo
hoje me tiraram o direito de cantar pra ti.

Hoje fizeste 33 anos que tiraram-te a vida.
Por mi deste a vida e o teu sangue também
E esse momento que sempre por ti cantei as
Belas Canções que foram feitas a tua memória,
Foi-me hoje após 25 anos, retirado esse direito de te honrar
Porque não aceito mais
Ouvir mentiras e ser usado para defender direitos
De alguns, que usam o teu nome para poderem sobreviver.

Amilcar, tudo isso foi roubado de mim,
Mas o direito de te amar, honrar e te conservar dentro
“Di nha petu, ES CA TA TIRAL.”
So si es manda matan…
Porque certas pessoas pensam que tu pertence só a eles.

Viva a tua memória e de todos os que deram a vida pra
Nos libertar, mas que ainda a liberdade não
Nos bateu na porta.

Lamento di um Fidju Maguado

HOJE E DIA DE AMILCAR CABRAL E DOS HERÓIS NACIONAIS

Roubaram-me tudo o que era meu
Tentaram, me espesinhar
E até tiraram o direito de cantrar pra ti

WINE CEREMONY FOR RENEWAL OF VOWS

The couple sips from the same glass or silver cup and then recites these vows:
As we drink together from this cup of wine, so may we continue in a perfect union of love and devotion to each other as we continue to draw contentment, comfort and felicity from the cup of life, and thereby findd life’s joys doubly gladdening and its bitterness sweetened by our true companionship and love.
