about

Fado means Destiny or fate in Portuguese. This song is in a way a ritual for the soul, a moment of deep listening of one-self to discover what needs to be let go of. By experimenting this time with the Fire element, the Ego is exposed,
and the message is simple: thanks to their thirst for learning, creating and sharing, Human Beings can overcome their fears and get nearer to the essence of their soul to fulfil their destiny.

lyrics

Nem sempre ha sentido
Norte ou sul tanto faz
A cantiga nos guia
Se licença lhe daz
O fogo assobiando
Umas notas a tocar
O vigor da chama
Reclamando seu lugar

Nao olhas para mim
Para tentar roubar
O sentimento puro
Toda alma quer alcançar
Desenredar as linhas desafinando a nossa voz
Ornamentar o fado que ha em nos

Momento de silencio
Para me ouvir chorar
Com sinceridade
Deixo me lovar
Uma historia que se canta para salvar
A força dessa brasa que está a se afogar

Nao olhas para mim
Para tentar roubar
O sentimento puro
Toda alma quer alcançar
Desenredar as linhas desafinando a nossa voz
Ornamentar o fado que ha em nos
