lyrics

TRANSLATED:

When will you arrive sister? We’ve been waiting for you long.
Your fragil name of hope vanishes when whispered of.
Your colors are so worn out, and so poorly portrayed;
A smoke signal for the forsaken ones.

When will you arrive sister? We’ve been waiting for you long.
Many cycles have passed under this clouded sky,
Under the yoke of a clown who judges me for believing myself an equal.
So many brothers and sisters have despaired in your reverie.
For your name they have bled.

Blanket me under your arm, and convince me of the truth,
That there is no crede, color or love which merits criminality.
Blanket me under your arm, and convince me of the truth,
That we are all equals, that there is no royalty in this reality,

When will you arrive sister? We’ve been waiting for you long.
It’s been such a long time that your essence we’ve forgotten.
I hallucinate your song in the sirenes that have silenced me;
I mistake your embrace for the shackles that have binded me.

I look for you always sister, in ballot boxes, marches, songs and on the faces of the disenfranchised.
After so many hymns and promises, we remain here, abandoned.
The fragile fire of your name has perhaps been suffocated.
When will you arrive sister? We’ve been waiting for you long.
