Tete is the capital city of Tete Province in Mozambique. It is located on the Zambezi River, and is the site of a one-kilometre-long suspension bridge. A Swahili trade centre before the Portuguese colonial era, Tete continues to dominate the centre-west part of the country and region, and is the largest city on the Zambezi. Tete is a word for "reed". In recent years the city as seen a huge influx of people from all corners of the world as the city prepares itself to become the coal capital of the world
The region was an important Swahili trade centre before the Portuguese colonial era. On the east coast of Africa the Portuguese were drawn to Mozambique and the Zambezi river by news of a local ruler, the Munhumutapa, who was said to have had fabulous wealth in gold. In their efforts to reach the Munhumutapa, the Portuguese established in 1531 two settlements far up the Zambezi - one of them, at Tete, some 260 miles from the sea. The Munhumutapa Kingdom and his gold mines remained autonomous and mostly isolated from the Portuguese. But in this region of east Africa - as in Portuguese Guinea and Angola in the west - Portuguese involvement became sufficiently strong to survive into the third quarter of the 20th century. Under Portuguese influence Tete had become a market centre for ivory and gold by the mid-17th century. Given a Portuguese town charter in 1761, it became a city of the Portuguese Overseas Province of Mozambique in 1959. After the Portuguese Colonial War in Portuguese Africa and the April 1974 military coup in Lisbon, the then Portuguese Overseas Province of Mozambique become an independent state. The newly-independent People's Republic of Mozambique, created in 1975 after the exodus of Mozambique's ethnic Portuguese, descended into civil war between 1977 and 1992.

Aunque ya no brille mas el sol
y que en la tierra no haya calor
aunque la noche no tenga estrellas
y que la luna no este con ellas
no me importa perder o ganar
no podrán verme sufrir jamás
porque
Ya no tengo pausa
ya no tengo prisa
tengo tu confianza
tengo tu sonrisa
ya no tengo pausa
ya no tengo prisa
sobra la esperanza
hoy lo oscuro brilla
Aunque en el mundo no haya justicia
y que las guerras sean noticia
aunque sigan quedando fronteras
y que el odio no tenga barreras
Nunca me cansare de luchar
en el mundo ya tengo un lugar
porque
Ya no tengo pausa
ya no tengo prisa
tengo tu confianza
tengo tu sonrrisa
ya no tengo pausa
ya no tengo prisa
sobra la esperanza
hoy lo oscuro brilla
Aunque siga habiendo mas pobreza
y que en algún lado haya tristeza
aunque el destino juegue conmigo
y que solo me gane enemigos
No me importa pensar que dirán
nunca me verán mirar atrás
porque
Ya no tengo pausa
ya no tengo prisa
tengo tu confianza
tengo tu sonrisa
ya no tengo pausa
ya no tengo prisa
sobra la esperanza
