The Cerrado Stoic ( Art of Memory) Flamenco Techno House Mix)
[Spoken intro] Now that I’ve finished my mission, I can say it plain: I put my family story in Brazil’s memory. I honored my kin, my land, and everybody I love. Now I’m back to talk to the world. [Spoken intro] If anybody knows what it means to live on the edge, it’s us. Our grandmothers, our mothers, they taught us the same thing: discipline, faith, a steady hand. No drama. Just keep moving. [Spoken intro] The little rituals we do every day keep us from getting pulled under, from losing our names, from forgetting where we came from. They say it simple: life is here. Right now. [Spoken intro] To grow, to rise, to prosper, you need work, and nerve, and a plan, because what’s ahead is part of the story too. [Spoken intro] That’s the heritage I carry: respect the roots, keep your feet moving, and don’t wait on tomorrow to start. I hope you enjoyed this journey. I did. It brought me back to my land, and now I can take new roads again. [guitar warm up] [Chorus] No coração do Brasil Onde a Terra é vermelha e reluz There’s a lesson in the dust when the road starts to shake lift your eyes, don’t let go the sun comes back around and when it does, faith comes with it pulling us home our memory is sovereign that’s where we stand the sun comes back around and when it does, faith comes with it [Verse 1] Dust on my shoes from the road I came down left the city rush, got my breath back now I kept the hush that the dry land gave mud and cold taught us how to stay Back to the roots on that western line every page I open pulls one more thread of time [Chorus] From the heart of Brazil we keep that steady faith the sun comes back around and when it does, faith comes with it pulling us home our memory is sovereign that’s where we stand the sun comes back around and when it does, faith comes with it [Verse 2] The creek ran dry in the old back field still the story moves when the new lights spill We left the fence, we crossed the frame same blood, same grit, same family name From the deep red soil, a fresh voice grows out on the street where the morning rolls [Chorus] From the heart of Brazil we keep that steady faith the sun comes back around and when it does, faith comes with it pulling us home our memory is sovereign that’s where we stand the sun comes back around and when it does, faith comes with it [Bridge] From Europe to Brazil, across the deep blue sea they tried to cut the line, tried to rename me But prejudice cracked like dry ground in a drought and the truth in our blood shuts all that doubt out No palace decree, no official hand we build the future with our own hands [Chorus] Just look to the horizon to the land where the sun goes down From the heart of Brazil we keep that steady faith the sun comes back around and when it does, faith comes with it pulling us home our memory is sovereign that’s where we stand the sun comes back around and when it does, faith comes with it [Outro] Thirty years on, and the view is clear memory made the bridge that brought us here Paris on the line, the world on the screen strongest road I’ve ever seen Call the mother stream dry as dust, but the music stays the sun comes back around the sun always returns Obrigado, Vó.
