La Voce

There is a voice that
Is inside you
And it frees itself
Louder if
You shout your need for love,
With all the voice there is

You hear it in the streets
And above the sidewalks,
In the eyes of those who are hungry,
Of those who can't stand anymore
And it doesn't tell you fairy tales
But only desires
And says what you carry inside you.

From the open windows
It throws itself into the courtyards,
Lights up the darkness in the night
Running over the trains,
Flies free on the trees
Like a kite,
In the joy and tears
That you see around you.

Chorus: It's the voice that
Will be with you
Every time
Life is there
And it doesn't abandon you because
It's the truest voice there is
It will live with you
With the strength it
Has within
And it's never alone because
Never alone as long as
It's the same voice that is in the world

And it speaks of the people
Bent under the sun
Inside the cotton fields
Black with sweat
And when it reaches the soul
It becomes a song
A big and endless choir
That shouts in freedom.

Chorus: It's the voice that
Will be with you
Every time
Life is there
And it doesn't abandon you because
It's the truest voice there is
It will live with you.

Prisoner
It's never
Growing free inside and outside of us,
It's truer ... black voice
Every time you shout
With all the voice you have

Chorus: It's the voice that
Will be with you
Every time
Life is there
Shout loudly inside of me
The truest voice there is
It will live with you.
With the strength it has within
And it's never alone because
Never alone as long as
It's the same voice
That is in the world
