Tomorrow we are recording our new song for our upcoming show about Treasures of the Silk Road.
We send a message of hope for marginalised people.
Some people are trapped in their homes, dreaming of a peaceful escape. Others are on the road dreaming of peaceful settlement. We sing of the joys of travel, of trying new things, greeting new people.
Lyrics for TALES OF OPEN ROADS
| Romero dons his fedora! |
| It sets off his silver hair. |
| A-a tirati,tirati,tirati,tirati-ir |
| lighting a fire in my soul |
| rekindling old sto-ries |
| Spi-nning tales of the road |
| strange and enticing |
| melodies rising |
| never quite the same |
| Lelele… |
| ——— |
| Searching for o-pen roads |
| Little girl cold and alone |
| Sola-a-a! Ella esta sooooola |
| Far from the war she will flee |
| lost is her family |
| Dark is the night, it is quiet, |
| memories bringing |
| whispers of peace |
| lulling her to sleep |
| Lelele… |
| ——— |
| Out on the open road |
| I follow the stream as it flows. |
| “quiero–ooo, quiero ir” |
| Weaving weeds into gold, |
| I’m trading on cha-nces |
| Fashion tri-nkets from the sand |
| [I] make what I fa-ncy, |
| tossing my fo-rtune, |
| laughing at the storms |
| le, le, le |
| Voy a donde quiero ir [repeat] |
