Naomi Lyrics English Translation by RaiNao
I am time, I am the present
And I want to tell you something
I really want to tell you a couple of things
I am a human being like you, I am not perfect
The goal of making art is not to achieve perfection, but to share who we are and how we see the world
And for that, I have to be human before being an artist
Art resonates when we understand that we are so similar
That’s why I acknowledge that if I transcend, it’s not because of my musical virtues or my ability to tell stories
But because of my perspective, my ideas
Creating is my superpower, but my creations are not complete until you hear them
My favorite places are people
Well, and my dogs
Really, everything that makes me feel alive and gives it my all today, in case I die tomorrow
I deserve everything that happens to me
Without that, I don’t change, I don’t grow, I don’t learn
What you see of me out there, how I look or what I wear, will never let you know me better than my music
Because that’s the most poetic and beautiful manifesto of my mind
Of what I am and what I want to be
Man, and I’m not always consistent, I’m not always okay
There are things that affect me, and sometimes I contradict myself or get lost
But I am always me
Naomi is RaiNao, and RaiNao is Naomi (Raomi)
Creating makes me a better person
And I wholeheartedly want my music to make you want to be better people too
That’s why sometimes creations take a long time to come out of my mind
But materializing it is always liberating
And sharing it a bit terrifying, I won’t lie to you
Not because I’m afraid to show you, but because the process is the most important
The most magical
And sometimes, one doesn’t know when to finish it
Each of my songs represents a moment in my life
When you listen to them
You become part of those moments and even give them meaning, because
I am not happy if I don’t tell these stories, which are ours
But real, real, why do I create?
Because I want to and I can
Because I am my own source of inspiration, and that inspiration is what leads me to create
I love myself and I want to thank myself for being as passionate as rational
And as much an artist as a human
