[Intro]
Eleven in the morning in New Orleans I'm walking around alone in Tremé’s neighbourhood
The news just annonced a hurricane, the air is heavy, the sky is getting dark, it's forbidden to hang out
The curfew is scheduled to 7 PM but people from here don't seem too much worried
They say they saw the worst case with Katrina and the murders to know who’ll run the town
They're partying and offering me some drink, there's abundant good mood in here
The musicians are enjoying it while improvising, all the neighbours are supplying themselves with provisions

[Interlude]
Orleans... Only in New Orle' guys! Only in New Orleans

[Verse 1]
Gathered people all set and ready, playing the trumpet while the storm goes by
And maybe the newspapers were wrong but I'm running soaked from head to toes
The hurricane came only a few miles away, the area around the docks are flooded
Far from my land feeling sentimental, not only the fear I could feel rising
Far from my lands, I only thought about my people, I have nothing but their memories and their invocations
Strange how you're feeling those love vibes when you're in touch with death and its allusions
The European forgets too fast that he is nothing facing the nature getting its rights back
Tornado of thoughts that's twirling in my head, I catch one of those at flight and I think about you

[Chorus]
What if the cyclones were the sum of all the whispers of the earth?
And if the earthquakes were the sum of all our first steps?
What if the cyclones were the sum of all the whispers of the earth?
And if the earthquakes were the sum of all our first steps?

[Verse 2]
Eleven in the morning in Tokyo, I’m getting lost on my own, it’s another energy that I perceive
Is it why I love this city so much or because here I'm a nobody
Here, you’re not there but your reminder is following me Everywhere I go and it hurts me
Nothing surprising in the fact that in Japanese love is said ahi
Let's make war to be in peace, let's live our life without suspicion
Yesterday, the earth has quaked, shaking the suspended city
The earthquake had a low intensity but enough to remind me that we'll be all gone
It would be a shame to end it with an argument, if I left first, will you empathize?
The European forgets too fast that he is nothing facing the nature getting its rights back
Collision of thoughts that’s shaking my head, I catch one of those on the ground and I think about you (You)

[Chorus]
What if the cyclones were the sum of all the whispers of the earth?
And if the earthquakes were the sum of all our first steps?
What if the cyclones were the sum of all the whispers of the earth?
And if the earthquakes were the sum of all our first steps?

[Outro]
It would mean that we are all linked
I have the feeling that we are all linked
It would mean that we are all linked
I have the feeling that we are all linked
I have the feeling that we are all linked
We are an infinity of conflicting voices
That become clear, once they sing all together
