about

track 01 side A
non-places (2011-2012)

lyrics

dungarees with empty pockets
fingers covered by the dust
barefoot kids on ears of wheat saw
covered wagons full of sorrow

cattle farmer’s hands wide open
weather-beaten faces stare
telling stories of the elders
‘cause they were scattered from their homeland

and it’s a long
row to hoe
while the sun
burns down the hope

drowning sins down by the river
throwing stones to settle it down
larks fly over the horizon
rewritten the never-ending rules

-------

petos con los bolsillos vacíos
dedos cubiertos de polvo
niños descalzos sobre espigas de trigo
carromatos rebosantes de pena

ganaderos con las manos abiertas
rostros azotados por el tiempo
contando historias acerca de los ancianos
a los que echaron de sus tierras

y es un largo camino por recorrer
mientras el sol incendia la esperanza

ahogando los pecados en el río
lanzando piedras para que no vuelvan
alondras que sobrevuelan el horizonte
reescribiendo las reglas interminables
