MONA KI NGI XIÇA
(The Child I’m Leaving Behind)
(Barceló de Carvalho “Bonga”)

Bonga - 1972

Also recorded by: Ruy Mingas



Attention! I’m in mortal danger
And I’ve already warned you
She will stay here and I will go away

This child of mine
Evil people are after her
This child of mine
On a tide of misfortune

God gave me this offspring
That I brought into the world
And she will stay here
When I am gone
