Blue Hearts – Alexiane

A bird woke me up this morning
To sing me a little song
To tell me some stories of
Children with blue hearts, warning me

And too many unheard still
Too many crying, no dignity
I don’t look away no more
We don’t look away no more

Ahhh
I sing for life, for rights
For the children with no voice
For the soldiers with blue hearts
We sing

“I want love in my life
Ah ah ah ah
Oh the heart of a child you’re blind to
Pour some light on the child with the blue heart
Flows of us lost at sea
But we’re still fighting for our peace
Oh our freedom must come
Protection for the smuggled hearts”

Little girl calling inside of me
She’s got a blue heart and a voice
That won’t be heard by the world
Oh too many years
The world’s gone mad

I’m an eight year old begging for money
On the streets of Dakar
Tonight I’m running away from the Daara
Though I’ve got no plans

Ahhh
I sing for life, for rights
For the children with no voice
For the soldiers with blue hearts
We sing

“I want love in my life
Ah ah ah ah
Oh the heart of a child you’re blind to
Pour some light on the child with the blue heart
Flows of us lost at sea
But we’re still fighting for our peace
Oh our freedom must come
Protection for the smuggled hearts

We’re living out of our bruised hearts
We’re living out of our blue hearts
We’re living out of our miracle hearts
Ah…”

Khol bou ler (coeur pur)
Khol bou ler yaye boy (coeur pur maman)
Souniou kholeyi dioyenaniou (nos coeurs ont pleuré)
Té dakkal diayoum domou Adama Yi (Arretez le traffic humain)
Té dakkal diayoum domou Adama Yi

Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah…
Khol bou ler

“I want love in my life
Ah ah ah ah
Oh the heart of a child you’re blind to
Pour some light on the child with the blue heart
Flows of us lost at sea
But we’re still fighting for our peace
Oh our freedom must come
Protection for the smuggled hearts

We’re living out of our bruised hearts
We’re living out of our blue hearts
We’re living out of our miracle hearts
Ah…”

I’ve been dreaming of children
Let’s do right by the children of the sky
And how much longer?
When will it be over?
Ahhhh
Let the doves find their sun
Ahhhh
