It was in Port-Gentil
We arrived at night
aboard a small boat
first and second class
We were with family
We were tourists
And I could not feel myself in my place …
Dreaming by the way …
other nights, other flavors
wanting to make my heart beat
to change life…
Dreaming by the way
other days, other colors
before the heart dies
change my life …
I wanted to escape from boredom
wanted to flee a country
Believing that the grass is necessarily greener elsewhere
I saw other landscapes
I made so many friends
and loves, sorrows and happiness …
I was elsewhere, elsewhere
wandering to the point of forgetting oneself
this forgetfulness, an armor for the weak
Another life…
I was elsewhere, elsewhere,
discovering other faces,
approaching other shores,
and other nights …
Then I came back
By unforeseen ways
the flowing blood is a sad reminder
I walked the streets
with so many strangers
singing hope, rebellion, concord
I held out my arms
Gabon of a teen
I never forgot
The lights of Libreville …
I’ll hold your arms
Little by little I know who I am
A kid from Libreville
found his heart …
A kid from Libreville
found his heart ..
