CARRY ME, WIND

“I had the opportunity to hike in the mountains of Peru. It is requested to ask for permission before entering the mountain. It was a shocking first day, looking at it in the distance and feeling the wind go through my whole body, penetrating my bones. This song began as a poem, a prayer I recited for the earth, nature, and the elements. The wind that I love so much and that every time I need, I ask it to clean and take away from me everything that I no longer want to carry. Then it’s time to flow and dance with the wind, which I love so much. ” - Natalia Laforcade.

Pódcast

In this episode, Natali Lafourcade and Bernardo Greenham talk from the fourth song of the album, “Llévame viento” (Take me wind). Together, they remember one of the most important moments of the composition of “De Todos las Flores”, when they walked through the Ausangate mountain, in Peru, where the experience of harmonizing with the rhythms of nature was radical.

Lyric Video

 
 

  • Wind, carry me to where the noise cannot reach me
    where the birds are singing and the water can save me
    Raise my legs, shake my body and sing, sing.

    Wind, lift my body like leaves kissed by autumn
    Whispering your loving song that awakens me from the deep
    Dance with me, dance with me gently, gently.

    Wind today I need that hug that breaks the ice
    Wind today I need your voice that has been gone for a long time.

    Wind, carry me to where the noise cannot reach me
    where the birds are singing and the water can save me
    Raise my legs, shake my body and sing, sing.

    Wind, lift my body like leaves kissed by autumn
    Whispering your loving song that awakens me from the deep
    Dance with me, dance with me gently, gently.

    Wind today I need that hug that breaks the ice
    Wind today I need your voice that has been gone for a long time.

    Wind today I need that hug that breaks the ice
    Wind today I need your voice that has been gone for a long time.

    Wind today I need that hug that breaks the ice
    Wind today I need your voice that has been gone for a long time.
