I'm going to see Thievory Corporation and the Roots at University of Vermont this weekend. Me and Heather are going to visit our friend Sammy Csaps and grooove with her for a few days I'm oober excited. This song is what made me happy all day today. I THINK it's French, only because I know they have many songs in French. But these lyrics look so similar to Spanish! I have no knowledge with different languages but I urge to learn more about them. There are so many Spanish people living in Willimantic. I would love to learn French though.
anyways, this song is amazing I have really been diggin' the drums beat lately and African sounding music it really soothes my soul. and Thievory always brings harmony to my ears.

Compilation: Babylon Rewound 2004
Song name: Exilio
...le le la lo la le...
Ven, Ven
Ven, Ven
Ven, Vente a gozar
Ven, Ven
Ven, Ven
Ven, Vente a bailar
Nuestra persistencia y nuestra alegría
Identifican nuestra raza, latina.
Hemos salido de nuestra tierra
Huyendo de los problemas
Corriendo de las balas
Buscando mirar una oportunidad
Para mejorar
Paz, Paz, Paz pide la gente
Paz, Paz, Paz pide la mente
Las escopetas...
Paz, Paz, Paz pide la gente
Paz, Paz, Paz pide la mente
Las escopetas también dicen
Y la violencia trae la violencia
La corrupción la destrucción
¿Honestidad donde te has ido?
Que no te encuentro ya...
...le le la lo la le...
Ven, Ven
Ven, Ven
Ven, Vente a gozar
Ven, Ven
Ven, Ven
Ven, Vente a bailar
and this is the English translation that Bing Translator gave me which basically gives you an idea even though it's kinda messy..
Exile
Come come come to enjoy
Come come come to dance
Our persistence and our joy
They identify nuestra raza, Latin.
We have gone out of our land
Fleeing from problems
Running out of bullets
Looking for watch an opportunity
To improve
Peace, peace, peace calls for the people
Peace, peace, peace calls for the mind
Shotguns...
Peace, peace, peace calls for the people
Peace, peace, peace calls for the mind
Shotguns also say
And the violence brings violence
Corruption destruction
Honesty where you've gone?
That you find already...
.. .enables you the what the le...
See, see
See, see
Come, come to enjoy
See, see
See, see
Come, come to dance
