As que nunca cantaron
Tanxugueiras
Those Who Never Sang
They sent us for salvation
On ships with echoes of their songs
They gave us a mission
Of leather skin and brass caresses
We made the drift dreamlike
We wrote them an ode to pain
The ones who wanted to silence us scream
The ones who never sang are singing
The ones who can’t take it anymore are dancing
The ones who wanted to sing are singing
The ones who always screamed are shouting
The ones who break the ground are dancing
Aialelalelalé, aialelalelalé
Aialelalelalelá, aialelalelalelá
It was written
It was written
It was written
It was written
It was written
It was written
It was written
It was written
It was written (aialelalelalé)
It was written (aialelalelalé)
It was written (aialelalelalelá)
It was written (aialelalelalelá)
The sound we bring
Didn’t come from the stars
It came from the voices, mother
From those who carve the stone
From those who carve the stone
They came to us, mother
They came to us full
Of truth
And without sorrow
The ones who wanted to silence us scream
The ones who never sang are singing
The ones who can’t take it anymore are dancing
The ones who wanted to sing are singing
The ones who always screamed are shouting
The ones who break the ground are dancing
The ones who wanted to silence us scream
The ones who never sang are singing
The ones who can’t take it anymore are dancing
The ones who wanted to sing are singing
The ones who always screamed are shouting
The ones who break the ground are dancing
Aialelalelalé, aialelalelalé
Aialelalelalé, aialelalelalé
Aialelalelalé, aialelalelalé
Aialelalelalelá, aialelalelalelá
Aialelalelalelá, aialelalelá
