Lyrics:

De onde vens? (Where are you coming from?)
De um barco de Olival, (From an olive grove boat)
Carruagem de alecrins. (Wagon of rosemary)
Ou das nuvens que há em mim… (or the clouds within me…)

…De onde vens? (Where are you coming from?)
Where the mountains kiss the sky,
Carried gently by the wind.
Or the waves that crash within…

Para onde vais? (Where are you coming from?)
Deixa-me ir também (let me go too)
Vemos no fim (we’ll see at the end)
Que já não há ninguém a ver este céu. (That no one is looking at this sky anymore.)
Ao longe, as nuvens já sair. (In the distance, the clouds are emerging.)
Das máquinas de marfim (from the ivory machines.)

Onde vais? (Where are you going?)
On a star that passes by.
When the moonlight ends the day,
In the eyes that long to wait.

Onde vais?
Quando o céu a desvanecer. (When the fading sky)
Segue junto do alvor (follows the dawn)
Até tu mudares de cor. (until you change colour.)

Para onde vais? (Where are you coming from?)
Deixa-me ir também (let me go too)
Vemos no fim (we’ll see at the end)
Que já não há ninguém a ver este céu. (That no one is looking at this sky anymore.)
Ao longe, as nuvens já sair. (In the distance, the clouds are emerging.)
Das máquinas de marfim (from the ivory machines.)

I wrote this little poem about the song which depicts what it means to me:

“We all want different things
From the world we share.
But no matter how strong our will, we may take only what it is willing to give.

If we push and push and push,
That which may only be pulled,
We may live in disappointment,
resentment and despair.

All we really have is each other.
To navigate our stubborn world in synergy,
Is to take the path of perspective.
To lean into union,
Is to embrace a life of meaning
and love.”

I hope this song can hold your hand, and remind you that you are one and the same as our miraculous universe. Which means, you are a miracle too. We are all connected with each other and everything around us.

Love yourself unconditionally, then, love the socks off of others. I believe you will feel it come back to surround you every day.

Love,
Lolli x
