Para Elisa

Introduction

Falls, the sunset, on burnt land
For the injustices where words remain silent

There works Elisa, a young African
At the mercy of poverty, daughter of nothing

But the winds of life feed hope
Breaking with the past, leaving sweet looks
From those who love her, from those who adore her
From those who remember the smile on her face

And she sails through tears, crossing the wide sea
In the boat of dreams, to the land of freedom
And she sails through tears, crossing the wide sea
In the boat of dreams, the land of freedom
Dream, Elisa

Welcome to paradise, to suffer humiliation
From a poisoned system that marks your color
In the light of a street lamp, there she will be
Selling her misery for a piece of bread

For Elisa yes, it's for you, I dedicate this song
For Elisa yes, it's for you, I sing it with my heart
The night is cold, wrapped in darkness
The kiss of death, that took her life away
On her knees on the ground, bleeding in solitude
A young immigrant, who sought happiness

She sailed through tears, dreams that fade away
Through a river of blood that divides humanity
She sailed through the shadows of a dark alley
While death walks away singing
Facing the sun... sun... sun...
For Elisa yes, it's for you, I dedicate this song
For Elisa yes, it's for you, I sing to you with my heart
