I Found My Sources
I found my sources
In old archives
Books
I found them
In accursed objects
Posts and chains
I found my sources
In the East
On the sea in filthy slave ships
I found them
In sweet words
Songs
In furious drums
Rituals
I found my sources
In the color of my skin
In the wounds of my soul
In me
In my dark people
In my proud heroes
I found them and at last found myself.

Encontrei Minhas Origens
Encontrei minhas origens
Em velhos arquivos
Livros
Encontrei
Em malditos objetos
Troncos e grilhetas
Encontrei minhas origens
No leste
No mar em imundos tumbeiros
Encontrei
Em doces palavras
Cantos
Em furiosos tambores
Ritos
Encontrei minhas origens
Na cor de minha pele
Nos lanhos de minha alma
Em mim
Em minha gente escura
Em meus heróis altivos
Encontrei
Encontrei-as enfim
Me encontrei
