The first time I heard this was at daybreak, on the road, heading out on a roadtrip.
It’s a song about beauty, loss and forgiveness, and it never fails to move me. It talks about the meaning of the blue sky and hearing it as the sun came up, opening the gigantic, blue African sky, was a moment of indescribable peace.
It has become a tradition that we listen to this song as we head out on adventures. If my life was a movie this would be the soundtrack to the opening credits.
Here is a translation of the words (if you have corrections please send them):
The blue sky
Hidden by the clouds
Is home for the saints
Who doesnt wanna be there, my friend?
Quarrels you had before
Dont do it anymore
The tree has lost some leaves,
But you have to grow the rest, my friend
You and I Are only pilgrims
Nobodys gonna stay here
So lets forgive each other, my friend
If you ever feel blue
Because some relatives left you
Theyre just a bit ahead
And were gonna be too there, my friend
The blue sky Hidden by the clouds
Is home for the saints
Who doesnt wanna be there, my friend?
