(English translation)
Oh my night, and oh night
I need to pour my heart out mother
They told me: No, No.
I’m young, but my heart is heavy
I want to fly, Fly high.
They want to cut off my wings
I’m your child, I’m suffocating
And I ask for your forgiveness
Everyone in the Neighborhood are lost
Everyone in the Neighborhood are lost
Dug, dug, dug
They all see darkness in this world
A dry desert
Dug, dug, dug
So you can see a sweeter life
Everyone in the neighborhood are waiting
Dug, dug, dug
They are waiting for the bee’s honey.
A black board
Our pilot threw us out in the middle of our journey
I’m lost between these walls and can’t find my place
in this country of burglars, oh mother
They give me drugs to keep me silent
And thieves are in charge, holding on to their power
Yeah, I want to hit the road and get away from here
and never look back, oh mother.
I don’t want to live as if I’m dead
And end up as a junkie, like my neighbor’s son
Oh my night, and oh night
I need to pour my heart out mother
They told me: No, No.
I’m young, but my heart is heavy
I want to fly. Fly high.
They want to cut off my wings
I’m your child, I’m suffocating
And I ask for your forgiveness
Men’s heads are tilted down
Heavy, full of thoughts. Brains are destroyed by drugs.
The boys in the hood are sleeping devils
Evil and hopelessness in their eyes
They want to ride us like animals
Keep us chained, and unable to move
They want you to be alone, without a family
We live in a system where son of thieves rule
Yeah
They want you to be nonexistent, to not claim your rights,
And to be grateful of whatever you get, oh mother
You run, but never make it
This made our youth run across the borders , Yeah
The lion is chained up in a cage
And the hyenas are free, eating your food, oh mother.
They want you lost on the streets
Watching the future pass you by
Oh my night, and oh night
I need to pour my heart out mother
They told me: No, No.
I’m young, but my heart is heavy
I want to fly. Fly high.
They want to cut off my wings
I’m your child, I’m suffocating
And I ask for your forgiveness
Oh my night, and oh night
I need to pour my heart out mother
They told me: No, No.
I’m young, but my heart is heavy
I want to fly. Fly high.
They want to cut off my wings
I’m your child, I’m suffocating
And I ask for your forgiveness
Yeah
