Dwight Isebia – Arogansha di poder y plaka

Ta kiko bo ke pa mi bisa,
awor ku b’a trata di tapa
mi boka promé ?
Ta kiko bo ke pa mi splika,
si úniko hues ku bo ke komprondé,
t’ esún ku ta dikta loke bo mes ke?
Ta kon bo por yega n’e simpel idea,
ku semper por paga pa kumpra palabra?
Kon bo tabata por ta bobo asina
pa no ta konsiente,
ku konsenshi di hende ta algu potente,
ku abo tambe , maske kon fwerte,
lo tin ku tene kwenta kuné?

 

The arrogance of power and money

What do you want me to say,
now that you first tried to
shut my mouth ?
What do you want me to explain,
if the only judge you understand
is the one whose verdict is exactly what you want ?
How could you get that simple idea
that you may always buy the words with money?
How could you have been such a fool,
not to be aware that the conscience of man
is something with power,
you have to take into account,
even if you are so strong ?
