Primordial

I sleep and wake up, while I dream,
And I cross time,
And I return to the first yesterday.
Among the light of the primordial
Memory awaits me
That another saw being born.
I return to the first trace,
When life began,
In Africa.
Eleggua travels,
On a star,
And opens the path that leads
To America!
Chorus: Eleggua opens the path!
From the 'Lara clan', from the land of Arara,
Life that flows from Africa,
Our original source,
From a world without a past,
Without borders or foreigners,
When everything began,
When money didn't exist.
In my being lies the memory,
Of what another being felt.
The horizon is vertical;
The spiral that formed it,
A path made of stars.
Illuminating in the distance,
The root of a new dream
That only those who persist reach!
The skin is pure geography;
The soul, on the other hand, is the universal project.
Blood of the world that raises us;
From the primordial being, the original source.
Eleggua opened the path!
