3BCD Translating into English


Uma odisseia em português. An Odyssey in Portuguese.

Mário explicou-nos que se mudou para o Liceu de Bissau, com ideias de entrar na Universidade Amílcar Cabral. Mas o destino não o quis assim e a sua mãe morreu tinha Madasi acabado o 11º ano. Já não fez o ano zero e disse adeus ao sonho de uma licenciatura. Telefonou a um amigo que trabalhava como pedreiro em Almeria, Espanha, e disse-lhe que também viajaria, que também sairia à aventura.

Mário explained that he had moved to Bissau High School in order to apply for the Amílcar Cabral University. But destiny had other plans for him. His mother died when Madasi finished the 11th year. He could no longer complete the zero year and he said farewell to a dream of a degree course. He called a friend who worked as a construction worker in Almeria, Spain, and he told him that he would also travel, that he would live a life of adventure.
