TRACK 1

To The Sky

I remember all that it takes

To build from dust.

How many times a day

Do we wake back up?

As we break from the city like clouds,

Break as we descend to the ground,

Everything the pavement holds,

Everything we leave on the road.

Vibração do caminho

Informa meu corpo

Vibration of the journey

Informs my body

Com vibração do caminho

Informa meu corpo

With the vibration of the journey

Informs my body

Do poder da estrada

trazer aquele sopro

Entrando na janela,

eu lembro tudo

Que morreu, para alimentar

A beleza de providenciar

The power of the journey

Is an exhale

Entering through the window

I remember everything

That is dead and gone, that has passed along

The beauty that sustains us

Je me souviens

I remember

Je me souviens, la simplicité d’amour

Le pulse de peau qui resperait encore

Je me souviens, le batement de couer

Quand j’ai partagé le sang de ma mere

Je me souviens la gout de la vie

et la finesse sucré de la mortalité

I remember, the simplicity of love

The pulse of skin as it breathes again

I remember the beating heart

When I shared my mother’s blood

I remember the taste of life

and the subtle sweetness of death

Olho pro ceu, lembro do meu passado

I look at the sky, I remember my past

Olha pro ceu, lembra do seu passado

Look at the sky, remember your past

Olho pro ceu, lembro do meu passado

I look at the sky, I remember my past

Olha pro ceu, lembra do seu passado

Look at the sky, remember your past

The Well

Free myself from myself

Empty myself of myself

Clean myself of myself

So I can fill it up

Free myself from myself

Empty myself of myself

Clean myself of myself

So I can fill it up

There’s a love beneath me

Rows and Rows of stories sleep

Past chapters speaking

It’s just a matter of remembering

There’s a well beneath me

Echos ring under my feet

I heard begin believing

In all the rooted seeds

Growing in the deep

Light moves through me, all will be restored in beauty

Ciranda

Lyrics by Capiba & Madeleine Froncek | Composition by Ley Line

Eu fui à praia do Janga

Pra ver a ciranda

No meu cirandar - Ciranda

O mar estava tão belo

E um peixe amarelo

Eu vi navegar - Navegar

Não era peixe - não era

Era Iemanjá - Rainha

Dançando a ciranda - Ciranda

No meio do mar - Ciranda

I went to Praia do Janga

To see the Ciranda

The way Ciranda is done

The ocean was so beautiful

And a yellow fish

I saw swimming

It wasn’t a fish

it wasn’t

It was Iemanjá

Queen

Dancing Ciranda

Ciranda

In the middle of the ocean

The moon she calls to her daughters

Come swim in my waters

And I’ll take you home (x2)

Your love awaits

On the other side

I’ll open a path

The waves will subside

Come out to see

What the ocean holds

Come play in my water

And I'll take you home

The blue I saw in the daylight

Turned black as the night sky

Its depth still unknown

But something guided my soul in

Convinced me to come swim

It kept me afloat

TRACK 6

Sereia

Adaptation of a folk song from Brasil

Arrangement by Emilie Basez

a roda faz

pra sereia do mar

a sereia canta

eu não vi cantar

o canto da sereia Oxum

me faz adimirar

saia do mar

minha sereia

saia do mar

venha brincar na areia

saia do mar

sereia linda

saia do mar

venha brincar sozinha

the circle is made

for the siren of the sea

the siren sings

I did not see her singing

the song of the goddess Oxum

makes me admire her

come out of the ocean

my siren

come out of the ocean

come play in the sand

come out of the ocean

beautiful siren

come out of the ocean

come play alone

TRACK 7

Tous Que Je vois

Lyrics by Lydia Froncek | Composition by Ley Line

les rues sont calmes

je marche lentement

j'aime la façon

dont tu prends ton temps

mais tout peut changer

subitement

je tombe et je tombe

dans la naïveté de notre enfance

je prends et je prends

tous ce que je peux

avant la distance

laisse-moi perdue

je flâne dans les rues

il est tous que je vois

tous que je vois

trois jours

c'est pas assez

mais si c'est tout que j'ai

ça me plaît

the streets are calm

I walk slowly

admiring the way

you take your time

but everything can change

suddenly

I fall and I fall

in the naïvety of our youth

I take and I take

all that I can

before the distance

leaves me lost

wandering the streets

he is all that I see

all that I see

three days

it's not enough

but if it's all that I have

it will have to do

TRACK 8

We Saw Blue

Lyrics by Kate Robberson | Composition by Ley Line

we saw blue

and they watched us

wild feet and all inside

the body moved

we saw blue

winding in and out of the space

and they watched us

watched us as we moved to the graces

wild feet and all inside

the body moved

through uncharted territory

we round out the ley lines

the truth has no color

when drawn over my eyes

there are secrets in the shadows

there is beauty in the daylight

the nightfall is my pride

the full moon is my guide

we saw blue

and they watched us

wild feet and all inside

the body moved

TRACK 9

SLOW DOWN

Lyrics by Kate Robberson | Composition by Ley Line

it’s not the poetry that keeps me coming back for more

it’s the spaces between talking that I long for

the quiet gazing that speaks volumes

the silent moments we shared alone in your room

between hotels and bus rides

between the sunset and the moonrise

that’s where I long to stay

watch the rest of the world

fall away

and I can see the anger in your eyes

you’re mad at the world but not at life

so I’ll bate my breathe to keep your flames at bay

and let the cool water pour down from my gaze

and slow down

slow down

and maybe I’ll come back around like the rest of it does

in the springtime

I’ll come back to where I started like the rest of it does

in the springtime

so I’ll make you a deal

I’ll trade you my stories for your sweet sweet rain

in the springtime

and watch them all just wash away

in the springtime

we make plans

and we learn to change them

we stay still

so we can move right on ahead

this may not be where I’m supposed to stay, but hey

it’s a nice place

to slow down

slow down

TRACK 10

Sounding Sun

Lyrics by Lydia and Madeleine Froncek

all that you own

you are bound to lose

carry me on

to the sounding sun

black is my closed eyed sky

brown like the river

shaken in golden light

burning all

that I give her

your hearts aware of it

all the deep

that the body can take

sleep to dream

dream to wake
