«Encheram a terra de fronteiras,

 carregaram o céu de bandeiras, 

mas só há duas nações

  a dos vivos e dos mortos.» 

«Land was filled with frontiers

and sky was filled with flags,

but there are only two nations 

the one of living people and  the one of dead people.»

Mia Couto (συγγραφέας από τη Μοζαμβίκη).
