Lyrics
Old age is the future of the young.nnI am a leaf. I am a leaf.nI am attached to a branch. My parental branch.nThat branch is connected to a trunk, a tree. My grandparents.nAnd that tree is connected to the soil, the earth, with swirling winding roots. My ancestors. nnI am the only leaf on my branch.nAt the end of it I feel high and stable. I can see far, far away. nI am young and green. And I grow, become stronger. nFor that I thank my branch, my tree and my roots. nThey give me the food and support I need. nTo become bigger, better, stronger. nnEver since I was little, I only had one friend: the Wind. nHe pushes, pulls and plays with me. nRocks me back and forth and softly caresses me. nI can hear his whistling voice telling me:nFadam, fadam, fadam, njaxèn.nWait, wait, wait. We will go together. nBut i did not understand. nWhere to do we go? And why?
