O Contador de Histórias

Há alguns meses atrás, numa posta com letras escondidas, cantarescrevilorei uma faixa da Souad Massi chamada Raoui (The Storyteller). Deixo-te o vídeo no tubo (enquanto não o removerem), com a música lindíssima, e a letra traduzida.

Raoui (the Storyteller) (daqui)

Oh storyteller tell us a story
Make it a tale
Tell me about the people of old
Tell me about 1001 Nights
And about Lunja daughter of the Ghoul
And about the son of the Sultan

I'm about to tell a story
We'll be far from this world
I'm about to tell a story
Everyone of us has a story in his heart

Narrate and forget we're adults
In your mind we're young
Tell us about heaven and hell
About the bird that never flew in his life
Make us understand the meaning of the world

Oh storyteller tell it just as they told you
Don't add anything, don't leave anything out
We could see into your mind
Narrate to make us forget this time
Leave us at once upon a time

 

Tenho uma estória para te contar. Queres ouvir?
