La Voce Toa

If there is a hardness in the heart

it must be broken, must be broken

if there are words inside untold

they must be spoken

if there is a candle burning at the shrine

it must burn down, it must burn down

until the very last drop of wax is spent

this hope will have no ground

wherever I turn

wherever I spin

these are the words

of the dance, we’re in

la voce toa nu l’hai timire

la voce toa falla sentire

if there is sadness welling at the throat

the tears must run the tears must run

as raindrops fill the ocean

it must be released and sung

if there are voices silenced in the darkness

louder they’ll shout louder they’ll shout

the crowds will take the streets

their anger must be let out

wherever I turn

wherever I spin

and these are the words

of the times we’re in

la voce toa nu l’hai timire

la voca toa falla sentire

la voce toa nu l’hai timire

la voce toa famme sentire
