we're all born migrants


This is so true, so deep and so beautiful. It has such sound richness that I prefer just to listen without the video. You choose..



A regra não nos carrega
nem faz de nós excepções
Terra cega
Terra em transe
Somos a ruga no mapa
o vento fora do rumo
a fuga fora da rota
o vento fora do rumo

As mãos apalpam o céu
e crescem asas nos pés
De lés a lés
caminhantes
Ó vida que se semeia
Todos nascemos migrantes

Há quem tenha mesa farta
onde a penúria não mata
Mar bravio
Mar macabro
Debaixo do mesmo sol
somos filhos da tormenta
bastardos em fraca barca
com o vento fora do rumo
The rule does not carry us
nor makes us exceptions
Blind Earth
Earth in a trance
We are the wrinkle on the map
the wind off course
the escape off the route
the wind off course

Hands feel the sky
and wings grow on our feet
From here to there
hikers
Oh life that is sown
We are all born migrants

There are those who have a full table
where poverty doesn't kill
Rough sea
Macabre sea
Under the same sun
we are children of the storm
bastards in a weak boat
with the wind off course
