Encontrei

Song Cycle by Tebogo Monnakgotla (b. 1972)

Publisher: Svensk Musik (external link)

. [Title unknown]

Language: Portuguese (Português) 
Encontrei minhas origens
em velhos arquivos
....... livros
encontrei
em malditos objetos
troncos e grilhetas
encontrei minhas origens
no leste
no mar em imundos tumbeiros
encontrei
em doces palavras
...... cantos
em furiosos tambores
....... ritos
encontrei minhas origens
na cor de minha pele
nos lanhos de minha alma
em mim
em minha gente escura
em meus heróis altivos
encontrei
encontrei-as enfim
me encontrei
