Norman Araújo, Cape Verde


Irony as social protest,
note the usage of creole!


Nhô ê branco, mi ê préto,
Nhôr sim; ma nhô considrá:
Branco ê papel, mas sim tinta
Ê mudo, êl ca ta papià.





You are white, I am black,
You, yes; but consider this:
White is paper, without ink
It is mute, it can’t talk.
