Travessia
Björk · Other Songs - Björk
Quando você foi embora
Fez-se noite em meu viver
Forte eu sou mas não tem jeito
Hoje eu tenho que chorar
Minha casa não é minha
E nem é meu este lugar
Estou só e não resisto
Muito tenho prá falar
Solto a voz nas estradas
Já não quero parar
Meu caminho é de pedras
Como posso sonhar
Sonho feito de brisa
Vento vem terminar
Vou fechar o meu pranto
Vou querer me matar
Vou seguindo pela vida
Me esquecendo de você
Eu não quero mais a morte
Tenho muito que viver
Vou querer amar de novo
E se não der não vou sofrer
Já não sonho
hoje faço com meu braço o meu viver
(English translation:)
Crossing
When you were gone
There was nigth in my life
I'm strong but there's no way
Today I have to cry
My house is not mine
And even mine is this place
I'm alone and don't resist
Much I have to tell
(I let go my voice on the roads
Now I don't want to stop
(My route is made of stone
How can I dream
Dream made of breeze
Wind come finish
I'll close my weeping
I'll want to kill myself
I'll following by the life
Forgeting about you
I don't want death anymore
I have lot to live
I'll want to love again
And if doesn't work I'll not be hurt
I don't dream
Today I make with my arms my subsist
Travessia
Björk's 'Travessia' stands as a defining track from her 1993 album *Homogenic*, marking a pivotal shift in her artistic direction toward electronic and ambient textures. The song features the distinctive vocal performance of Skunk Anansie, blending Björk's ethereal style with a more rhythmic, dance-oriented approach that characterized the album's sound. Released during a period where she was actively exploring new sonic landscapes beyond her earlier pop-rock roots, the recording exemplifies the innovative production techniques of the early 1990s. It remains a significant piece in her discography, reflecting her commitment to pushing boundaries in genre and vocal delivery while maintaining a deeply personal emotional core.
