I like this song

[sacundim]

Same song as last entry. The author and performer, Zé Manel, lives in Oakland, too. I wonder if he plays shows around here.
The following is not all of the lyrics-there's a fast stanza that's untranscribed, and I left out a couple other ones. Tchico Té, ke ku matau
Disastri falado ma po ku matau
("Tchico Té, what killed you / Supposedly an accident, but it was a club.")
Tchutcha Té, mindjer di Té
Djubi mininus, Africa i assim
("Tchutcha Té, Té's wife / Look after your children, Africa's like this.")
Na ki dinoti i na baiba si distino
Na strada di no tera
I para pa djuda si amigo
Kamarada, oh, kabalido
Kamarada, abo ku matal
("That night he was walking to his destination / In our country's road / He stopped to help his friend / Oh worthless comrade / Comrade, it was you who killed him.")
É bin na falanu kuma, eih
Disastri ku mata Tchico Té
Kamarada, oh, kabalido
Kamarada, abo ku matal
("They came and told us: 'Hey, / It was an accident that killed Tchico Té / Oh worthless comrade / Comrade, it was you who killed him.")
Bo tchoman parentis
Bo tchoman derentis
Bo tchoman Tchutcha di Té oh
Pa no bai na baloba
Pa no mandji kamarada oh
Kabalido
("Call the family for me / Call the relatives for me / Call Tchutcha Té for me, oh / To go to the ceremonial ground / And curse our comrade / Our worthless comrade.")
