Transparent
Like water from the fountain...
My hand is transparent
to my grandma's winsdom
Between earth and heaven,
my black grandma knew how to tell
Things about destiny.
The sea before my eyes flows
into rivers of this desire in me,
The desire of those, born to sing
This Tejo, as beautiful as the Zambéze,
Is inspiration for so many songs
That I even envy Lisbon, for living so close to it
I see a braid of hair
And the warm tune of fado
in a shawl of snails
Like a fairytale,
Drums are guitars
And palm-trees are sunflowes
My black grandma knew how
To read secrets about the one's destiny...
By a mere look in the eyes
If life wants it or not
God told the witch
That I was born to sing
