Njila Ia Dikanga
Paulo Flores
The Path of Dikanga
Kiki from Tundo Monami my mother told me
That he knows the world Mona Ndengue
In the turn of the world everything is the same dust
But to remember the kwatundo
Remember the jinjila ketwe
That he is on the Path of Nzambi Wanda kuku Jutala
Remember our Djina remember to rise
Turn world Turn dust, Mom told me
But do not forget the pain of the Earth
Do not forget to return
When I returned, in the alley of my Rocha where the guys paused
The cold of the cacimbo that pierced the already torn sweater
When I returned
The Kambas from the Village no one remembered me
Many changed their lives, even the dreams we dreamed
When I returned
Home is no longer home
Lelu is no longer maza
Wealth is no longer coffee
Husband can be a woman
Homeland is no longer homeland
Ground is no longer Earth
Hunger is no longer war
When I returned
Kamba no longer warns you
The car is now the biva
Misery already pays VAT
Kiki from Tundo Mom Ngo Dyambela
That he knows the world Monamye
Turn world Turn dust Mona Ndengue
But remember the kwatundo
Remember the jinjila ketwe
That he is on the Path of Nzambi Wanda kuku Jutala
Remember our Djina remember to rise
Turn world Turn dust
But just do not forget the pain of the earth
Just do not forget to return
When I returned
In the shadow of the vavô mulemba was no longer there
Nor the field of trumuno of the rag ball we played
But I returned
The konga and the dikanza in semba were no longer used
Only the disgust remained salt on the face of the laughter we cried
But I returned
Home is no longer home
Lelu is no longer maza
Wealth is no longer coffee
Husband can be a woman
Homeland is no longer homeland
Ground is no longer Earth
Hunger is no longer war
When I returned
Kamba no longer warns you
The car is now the biva
Misery already pays VAT
The Land of Teta Lando (oh the Earth)
From the people who saw singing (our Earth)
The people who cry who know and feel (oh the Earth)
I love you so much my brother (the Earth that awaits love)
I love you so much my brother
But I returned
Home is no longer home
Lelu is no longer maza
Wealth is no longer coffee
Husband can be a woman
Homeland is no longer homeland
Ground is no longer Earth
Hunger is no longer war
But I returned
Kamba no longer warns you
The car is now the biva
Misery already pays VAT
The Path of Dyakanga of mom
The Path of Dyakanga my
