about

This song has evolved and evolved again and through it so have I. This song was conceived in songwriting class led by the brilliant Dr. Kelly in Los Angeles and cocooned itself and had a metamorphosis in France, where I now live. This Afro-Colombian song with lyrics in both english and french is a homage to the Chibcha's moon goddess, Chía, whose temple in Cundinamarca, Colombia was an important religious center. I personally feel a strong connection to the moon and in my many wonderings it is the very moon that has directed me so divinely. Through this song I hope to transmit her energy, vigour and beauty that she embodied to you all.

lyrics

Chorus
Verse 1
Living in contentment
Emptying our minds
Showing us the signs
Of how it’s all divine


The spirit never dies
Listen to her sighs
Nothing can be forced
Coming from the source

Go deep in your heart
With all that makes you part
Alarming how it’s sought
Can it be embossed?

Abundant life of virtue
Careful what you nurture
Trying to control
That which makes us flow

CHORUS
Et briller sans s'affaiblir
Tous ensemble s'épanouir

Céder a Céder a la lumière
Illumine la beauté cache en toi

Céder a Céder a la lumière
Go ascend into higher vibrations


Verse 2

The lesson here is called
It’s time to face it now
Surrender and allow
Unify as one
Realize your essence
In this passing world
So much as we whirl
Magnify that love


CHORUS
Et briller sans s'affaiblir
Tous ensemble s'épanouir

Céder a Céder a la lumière
Illumine la beauté cache en toi

Céder a Céder a la lumière
Go ascend into higher vibrations

Vibrations
