A Cantiga da Cidade Queimada (The Burnt City) Shahr-e Sukhteh - Marcio Golinelhi

The legendary Bronze Age archaeological site of Shahr-e Sukhteh (The Burnt City), this track echoes the lost voices, forgotten secrets, and ancient sands of a vanished civilization. Sung in archaic Portuguese, the lyrics evoke a solemn lament for a city consumed by time and fire, preserved only beneath the cold desert dust. --- Lyrics [Archaic Portuguese]: [Verse] Cinzas do tempo sob a area mui fria Cidade que a mão do homem erguia Pedras em silenço contan conto mui fundo De segredos que a terra ascondeu do mundo [Chorus] Sussurros nacen de Shahr-e Sukhteh Cidade queimada O que foi que ela vê Sonhos na terra Verdades sem fim Espanto mui antigo que chama por mim [Verse 2] Olhos de argila Olhan pelas eras Em mundo de pranto e perdidas quimeras Ossos e contas no leito do deserto Ecos de vozes Do morto encoberto [Prechorus] Sombras dançan sob o luar que a prender Conto non dito em lábio a romper [Chorus] Sussurros nacen de Shahr-e Sukhteh Cidade queimada O que foi que ela vê Sonhos na terra Verdades sem fim Espanto mui antigo que chama por mim [Bridge] Fogos arderon E o vento apagou Mas o brio da vida a cinza non levou O que fundaron O que viron perder A area sabe tudo e non quer escolher [Outro] Cidade Queimada... O pó e o fado... Shahr-e Sukhteh... --- Translation [English]: [Verse] Ashes of time beneath the freezing sand A city raised by the hand of man Silent stones tell a profound tale Of secrets the earth hid from the world [Chorus] Whispers rise from Shahr-e Sukhteh Burnt City What is it that she sees? Dreams in the earth Endless truths An ancient wonder calling out to me [Verse 2] Eyes of clay Gaze across the ages In a world of weeping and lost chimeras Bones and beads on the desert floor Echoes of voices From the hidden dead [Pre-chorus] Shadows dance beneath the binding moonlight An untold tale breaking from the lips [Chorus] Whispers rise from Shahr-e Sukhteh Burnt City What is it that she sees? Dreams in the earth Endless truths An ancient wonder calling out to me [Bridge] Fires burned And the wind extinguished them But the spirit of life was not carried off by the ash What they founded What they saw lost The sand knows all and chooses not to decide [Outro] Burnt City... Dust and destiny...
