lyrics

Sebastiano Dessanay & Kristina Jacobsen 2020

~place written: Selargius~

Morning voices sound
heart of the village
Sun baked hearth stones
labrynth alleys

A man at the altar
Raises up the saint
Weathered face, hard life
cheeks soft with tears

(in) a world so tightly woven
Where warp nor weft leave space to breathe

what does it mean to belong, where are the lines drawn
and if I leave, will I still be welcome home?

Noon time church bells
dry his pious tears
Shared feast, appetites
Honored guest, sacred role

Convivialita’
Cannonau to wash it down
myrtle leaves, sizzling meat
Mirto to top it off

In a world so tightly woven
Where warp nor weft leave space to breathe

what does it mean to believe/when are the lines drawn
and if I leave will I be still welcome in?
what does it mean to be a man/where are the lines drawn
And when I leave what piece of me will I leave behind?

And there was dusk
And there was night
Colored costumes
Canto in Re

Organetto,
launeddas
Round dance, then
dance some more

In a world so tightly woven
Where warp nor weft leave space to breathe

what does it mean to belong, when are the lines drawn
and if I leave will I be still welcome home?
what does it mean to be a man, where are the lines drawn
And when I leave what piece of me will I leave behind?

about

Kristina Jacobsen Albuquerque, New Mexico

Kristina Jacobsen’s first album, Three Roses, proves that she is a certified country singer/songwriter who couldn’t be more authentic if she had been born backstage at the Louisiana Hayride in Shreveport, aprogram that she celebrates in a song of the same name. She sings in a yodeling alto that can warm your heart, bite off a searing denunciation, or celebrate good times with equal fervor. ... more
