Distinu (feat. Calema)

August is here in Santiago
In the silence of the early morning
I grab my bag, I forget all my memories
I open the door to step out slowly

Fear of leaving doesn’t face me
It’s what stays that’s killing me
I see you in my destiny
Calling me to go, to go
I see you in my destiny
Calling me to go, to go

Follow my destiny without looking back (I’m going, I’m going, I’m going)
Searching for freedom to find my path (I’m going, I’m going, I’m going)
Follow my destiny without looking back (I’m going, I’m going, I’m going)
Searching for freedom to find my path (I’m going, I’m going, I’m going)

My heart full of hope
Reaches the port of Fernão Dias
The dark sea is biting me
I see the coast all worn out

I’m stuck with a heavy load
Fish rotten to keep me company
Had no plate to eat with him
This long road is a pain in the ass

Follow my destiny without looking back (I’m going, I’m going, I’m going)
Searching for freedom to find my path (I’m going, I’m going, I’m going)
Follow my destiny without looking back (I’m going, I’m going, I’m going)
Searching for freedom to find my path (I’m going, I’m going, I’m going)

It’s time to go, with my suitcase in hand
I look back, my destiny won’t let me go
It’s time to go, with my suitcase in hand
It calls everyone, but my name it won’t call

Follow my destiny without looking back (I’m going, I’m going, I’m going)
Searching for freedom to find my path (I’m going, I’m going, I’m going)
Follow my destiny without looking back (I’m going, I’m going, I’m going)
Searching for freedom to find my path (I’m going, I’m going, I’m going)

I accepted my destiny and stayed in São Tomé
I found my girl and my life changed
Today I’m so happy, because someone spoke for me
My story was told for the whole world to hear

(Hm, hm-hm-hm, I’m going, I’m going, I’m going)
(Hm, hm-hm-hm, I’m going, I’m going, I’m going)
(Hm, hm-hm-hm, I’m going, I’m going, I’m going)
