Si sangue de Beirona é sim' sabe
El ba panha 'l

Sangue de Beirona
Sangue de Beirona
El é sabe
Si bô c'octha'l
La na fundo di Ladera
Bo ta culpa'
E quem faze'be ess coladera

Mon enfance, abandonné de mon père, j'ai grandi avec toi, et pourtant distant par la langue mais Unis par le cœur cesaria tu étais la reine du cœur de ce petit de 8, 9 ans. Dans mes jeux avec mes camarades, je peux me souvenir quand je les fuillaient un instant pour être avec toi un instant près de cette radio à écouter Africa numéro un, c'était notre heure à nous, tes paroles parlaient à mon cœur et je pouvais saisir la puissance de la solitude que l'on partageai par tes chants. Je t'aime evora, aujourd'hui j'ai grandi et je suis papa maintenant c'est à mon tour d'être la pour eux, maman est parti te rejoindre, et c'est aussi grâce à elle que j'ai appris à écouter avec le cœur et non simplement les oreilles. Tu restes la meilleur dans mon cœur cesaria, comme il est beau ce nom evora. Merci beaucoup à l'heure où je t'écris je viens de retrouver sangui Vérone que du bonheur 😘😘😘. Repose en paix
