Diego Cão

Five centuries ago came Diego Cão
With his fleet came Diego Cão (Diego Cão!)
On the great Congo River, Diego Cão (Diego Cão!)
Defeating the current, Diego Cão (Diego Cão!)
And on the great black river, Diego Cão (Diego Cão!)
He found peaceful people, simple folk he met
He found people of the fields, hunting, and fishing freely
 

They wore copper and iron, this is what Diego Cão saw
For hooks, spears, and arrows, this is what Diego Cão saw
But they had gold ornaments in great quantity
And mats embroidered with silver in abundance
And cattle grazed in boundless fields
And they were thousands, roaming free
 

To his people, Diego Cão
Even to himself, Diego Cão
All of this, Diego Cão
Liked it quite well, Diego Cão
They were hosted (with friendship)
They were welcomed (with friendship)
They were treated (with friendship)
They were respected (with friendship)... and kindness
And immediately, in return, on the hills of Cabinda
They planted their first armed fort!
 

Five centuries ago came Diego Cão
With his fleet descended Diego Cão (Diego Cão!)
On those wealthy shores, Diego Cão (Diego Cão!)
He went from port to port, Diego Cão (Diego Cão!)
On the black continent, Diego Cão (Diego Cão!)
Instilling the Lusitanian creed into those people
Trying to bring them a new spirituality
 

And so, without delay, a ship, Diego Cão
Sent to Lusitania, who awaited him, Diego Cão
And in the ship were riches and rarities
And a hundred, a hundred blacks, packed like animals
Thus, Lusitania understood well
How profitable it was to spread civilization down there
 

To his people, Diego Cão
Even to himself, Diego Cão
All of this, Diego Cão
Liked it very much, Diego Cão
They had encounters (with friendship)
They had receptions (with friendship)
They were honored (with friendship)
They were still treated with friendship... and kindness
And immediately, in return, near Luanda
They planted a second armed fort!
 

Five centuries ago came Diego Cão
With his fleet came Diego Cão (Diego Cão!)
Between the Congo and the Cunene, Diego Cão (Diego Cão!)
Spreading the faith, Diego Cão (Diego Cão!)
In the great black world, Diego Cão (Diego Cão!)
He stole golden idols, profaned temples and cities
He left mourning and ruin, blood, death, and cruelty
 

And now, thousands of those blacks, Diego Cão
Along with all the wealth he found, Diego Cão
He sent to his ships without rest or pity
Loading them in the holds with brutality
He emptied villages and drained that land
And then there were millions enslaved
 

To his people, Diego Cão
Even to himself, Diego Cão
All of this, Diego Cão
Liked even more, Diego Cão
They were no longer welcomed (with friendship)
They were no longer hosted (with friendship)
They were no longer treated (with friendship)
They were no longer respected (with friendship)... or kindness
And so it was that to those people, who had only offered trust
Diego Cão taught a hatred that would never die!
