Happy New Year Steemit! This is my first talking/singing video because I'm pretty awkward in front of the camera. Even though I seem like I talk a lot when I write, ha! Anyway, I told you that I am learning ukulele again so I made a ukulele version of my favorite Manu Chao song - El Viento. I just bought this ukelele but it is not so high end for starters. Forgive me because I'm not a singer nor a musician. But this song is pretty is easy. I'll get a nice video camera next time!
This song reminds me of my hitchhiking days in South America. I just want to dedicate this song to all my brothers who are illegally and dangerously crossing the borders to have better lives. May luck be with you!
This is the English translation of the song.
The Wind
The wind just comes
The wind just goes
Across the border
The wind just comes
The wind just goes
Hunger comes
The man goes
with no other reason
Hunger comes
The man goes
to Babylon route
Along the highway
Along the highway
Good fortune comes
Good fortune goes
Across the border
Good fortune comes
Good fortune goes
The hunger comes
The man goes
with no other reason
Hunger comes
The man goes
when will he return?
Along the highway
Along the highway
