Back home we talk with the heart
_____
We know kindness without judgment
When we reach out our hands
_____
It's to offer what's inside
_____
Back home there are a thousand and one nights
_____
Our eyes sweat gold and fire
_____
There are tables filled with fruit
_____
Lips have my elders' accent
_____
Back home some roll their r's
_____
Others talk little or talk loud
_____
From the snows or the deserts
_____
They all took the North one day
_____
We tell each other ancient fables
_____
That pass from memory to memory
_____
We know where our roots grow
_____
We're not ashamed of our history
_____
Back home people sow, sow
_____
They make the seeds bloom
Back home people love each other
_____
Differences are beautiful
_____
In my blood there's war
_____
But above all there's love
_____
Peoples and mist
_____
But there's only love
_____
That truly tells my story
_____
Back home how many destinies
_____
Deserve to be heard
_____
And even if it's nothing to you
_____
How many of us have known
_____
Those boats we were forced to take
_____
The life we had to relearn
_____
To forget what we had known
_____
That rolled straight to death
_____
Back home, there are real ties
_____
Back home there's also a gypsy
_____
Who sang at night by the fireside
_____
Back home people sow, sow
_____
They make the seeds bloom
_____
So they become life
_____
Back home people love each other
_____
Differences are beautiful
_____
In my blood there's war
_____
Loss and departures
_____
But above all there's love
_____
In my blood mingle
_____
Peoples and mist
_____
But there's only love
_____
That truly tells my story
_____
If there's only one thing to keep
_____
It's that back home it's about sharing
_____
But we've got the heart as heritage
_____
Back home there's transmission
_____
It smells of the city, it smells of the sea
_____
Money's counted in traditions
_____
Back home women are strong
_____
Whoever we are we're loved
_____
Because everyone becomes memories
_____
Back home people sow, sow
_____
They make the seeds bloom
_____
Back home people love each other
_____
Differences are beautiful
_____
Since I'm alive
_____
In my blood there's war
_____
But above all there's love
_____
In my blood mingle
_____
Peoples and mist
_____
But there's only love
_____
That truly tells my story
_____
Back home people sow, sow
_____
They make the seeds bloom
_____
So they become life
_____
Back home people love each other
_____
Differences are beautiful
_____
Back home people sow, sow
_____
They make the seeds bloom
_____
So they become life
_____
Back home people love each other
_____
Differences are beautiful
_____
Since I'm alive
