I walk barefoot on the trail I don't pick even one solitary wild flower Soon I will arrive at the skyline there With the wind at my back. An anemone, a weed, flourishes The sun at my back, I remain There are the olive trees, A man dozing, and a house And slowly I recall. Chorus One land, a dream ingrained Even if the path is unfamiliar Here I walk, ever attracted I have only one land. One land, like a garden that blossoms I hear its warm voice I belong to it and I listen to it. I came calling with no assurance It carries me to its soul In the caves of stone And the fields of straw And the melody of the blessing Chorus One land, a dream ingrained Even if the path is unfamiliar Here I walk, ever attracted I have only one land. One land, like a garden that blossoms I hear its warm voice I belong to it and I listen to it. Who guards me on a stormy day And calls me in the same language In the quiet nights It almost kisses And touches hope. Chorus One land, a dream ingrained Even if the path is unfamiliar Here I walk, ever attracted I have only one land. One land, like a garden that blossoms I hear its warm voice I belong to it and I listen to it.

UM PAÍS

Caminho descalço por uma trilha
não colho nem mesmo uma flor solitária
breve alcançarei o horizonte daqui
com o vento às minhas costas.

Uma anêmona floresce.
Sol nas minhas costas, eu fico.
Eis as oliveiras,
um homem cochilando e uma casa
e aos poucos me recordo.

REFRÃO:
Um país, um sonho enraizado.
Quando o caminho é pouco conhecido
por ele ando, sempre atraído.
Eu só tenho um país.
Um país como um jardim que floresce.
Ouço sua voz cálida
a ele pertenço e o escuto.

Vim visitá-lo sem compromisso,
ele arrebatou-me para sua alma.
Nas cavernas de pedra
e campos de palha
e a melodia da bênção.

REFRÃO: Um país ...

Quem me protege num dia tempestuoso
e me chama na mesma língua
nas noites silenciosas?
Ele quase me beija
e contata a esperança.

REFRÃO: Um país ...
