Nascidos & Criados (feat. Teresa Salgueiro)

Born & Raised (feat. Teresa Salgueiro)

I was born trapped, I'm white and I'm black
I cry and I'm tense, I'm not from here
Where I belong, fear doesn't win
That's what I think, fear came back
What I wanted was to fly from here to another place
Sometimes what I wanted was to fly from here, never come back

Trapped inside the trap
Family is not chosen, born and raised
Portugal is rectangular, the sides were imagined
I'm still looking to find someone who walks in the rain and doesn't get wet
Who doesn't reap what ancestors have sown
If it comes to my mind, I take on the fate
Suddenly it sounds appropriate to me
When I mix a jindungo, I taste, almost enlightened
Just like two brothers in the same house
Who would I be without you? Our land still sings (sings)
Who wanted to be an only child
And the God who doesn't grant his wish, nah
With you I learned to lose, to share the bread in half
There are evils we can choose
The others serve to bring us together

What leads you to face the sea
To leave forever the love of your land
To be reborn unintentionally in another place
Never forget where you come from, and that in the end
You go far, goodbye, goodbye
You go far, goodbye, goodbye
