about

Borderlines & Bloodlines

Lyrics by Germa Adan - a song inspired by findings of ancestry and DNA and the questions that are left hanging in the air after such discovery. What one has perceived as defined lines and spots are essentially blurred, leading to further exploration of identity and belonging

lyrics

Borderlines and Bloodlines
Lyrics written by Germa Adan


I've got borderlines
in my Bloodlines mmmm hmm mmm
what have I left behind

Eske ce youn kote parent mwen abite, ou youn kote zansèt yo asanble,
eske cest tout istwa-k passe anba tout pye-n,
of the things all gone by



I've got my stars aligned
With yours and mines, mmhmmm mm hmm
Is it always this divine

Mwen wè grace lanmou nan tout figi ou, tout parole realiser bondye te di-nou, I’m assured we are, surely we are where we belong




Our identity was scattered
Beyond a grain
Beyond a roosters crow
Beyond a floating feather
Beyond a wedding bow
Beyond the bricks and mortar
Beyond a waiting door
Beyond a waiting door


Our identity was scattered
Beyond a soaring crane
Beyond a warriors torch
Beyond a roaring river
Beyond a tailored cloth
Beyond a lightning bolt
Beyond a candles flicker
Beyond a miners gold
Beyond a lovers whisper
Beyond a wilting rose
Beyond a touch that lingers
Beyond the open shores
