El-Jah

  Picture in Black & White   I want to own all your black color Make yours my desire And, in the darkness, dream in your dream So we could be the same.   I want own your lips And own mine too Making them The limits of your pleasure.   I want you own my whiteness And make mine your eternal desire of liberty And the courage of being the same also in the light.   I want to compress my chest againt yours To our hearts beat very close together in that ancient silency language That our ancestor transformed in sounds and music That make we the same in our differences:   Because that's the same the color of the live that flows in our veins, That's the same the color that explodes new in our pleasure!   I want that of the clash between your blackness and my whiteness Borns, in equality, love, life, And all the colors of the dawn.
