La Cigarra
Renato Teixeira
The Cicada
So many times they killed me
So many times I died
But now I'm here
Rising again
I thank my fate
And that hand with a dagger
Because it hurt me so bad
And I kept on singing
Singing to the sun
Like a cicada
After a year underground
Just like a survivor
Returning from war
So many times they pushed me away
So many times I reappeared
And for all that I lived
I lived crying
But after all that weeping
I slowly realized
That my dream has no owner
And I kept on singing
Singing to the sun
Like a cicada
After a year underground
Just like a survivor
Returning from war
So many times they killed you
So many times you'll rise again
So many nights you'll spend
Despairing
But in the moment of shipwreck
In the moment of darkness
Someone will rescue you
To keep on singing
Singing to the sun
Like a cicada
After a year underground
Just like a survivor
Returning from war
