DESCRIPTION:
Every song has a story to tell. This song tells the story of the wind, the breath of the universe. The wind is elusive and full of mysteries. No one knows where she comes from, where she is going or what she brings. In these volatile times that we live, we dedicate this song to trees whose breath nourishes our world.

All proceeds from this track will go to 8 Billion Trees Foundation that plants trees and rescues animals around the world, especially in the Amazon and whose mission is to "change the world one tree at a time".

LYRICS:
Ella no precisa preguntar
Ni pedir permiso al llegar
Tiene secretos, nadie sabrá

Cuando pasa tiembla el matorral
Y el bosque no sabe olvidar
Los tallos recios, se quebraran

Suena por el mar, llanura, arboleda, río
Moldeando serranías al sonar
Suena por el mar, llanura, arboleda, río
Moldeando cataratas al sonar

A TWICE TOLD TALE

One fine autumn day, Santi (from Asunción, Paraguay) and Tuğçe (from Istanbul, Turkey) have crossed paths in a small town in the middle of the “heartland” US. From this moment on, their lives have become webs of inquiry and revelation as they have jointly devoted forces to mastering the art of musical storytelling. Drawing on a wide palette of ideas and influences, Santi & Tuğçe have created an enchanting world with their music in which the characters are driven by passion and a zest for life. A world where mythical creatures return home after an epic quest to an island surrounded by land, where a wise woman prepares potions to heal the poet, the dreamer, and the disillusioned; where planets collide and create new patterns in the cosmic swirl; where two starry-eyed lovers sail away on a sea turtle spaceship to places unknown; and where self-aware, compassionate robots resolve ancient paradoxes in their mission to rescue humanity.

On this fine autumn day, thirteen years after their fortuitous encounter, Santi & Tuğçe, now based in the ‘center of electronic music’ Berlin, present their latest musical odyssey:  “A Twice Told Tale”. Filled with unmistakable charm and complexity, “A Twice Told Tale” conjures up stories that connect with something deep within the listener. Told with emotional intensity and intricacy, these are songs for and about everyone.

The first track, “Hikâye” (“Tale”) tells a long tale, a tale that is “a little naïve, a little rebellious, and a little tender”. Life is fleeting, leaves will fall, colors will fade, and before we know it, it will be time to depart from this beautiful earth. Yet the tale we have lived to tell and the love we have lived for will remain. 

The second track, “Kuyu” (“The Well”), offers a peak into the deep, invisible corners of the heart, full of yearning and eternal questions, to which no one knows the answers. After all, “who has seen and who has brought news from the dark shore across?” 

The third track, “Bulut” (“Cloud”), describes the perpetual cycle of change and metamorphosis in nature through the imagery of a playful cloud that rises from the seas to clear blue skies, and goes on a multicolored journey “perhaps towards the water, perhaps towards the earth, or perhaps towards a poem”.

LYRICS (TURKISH):

BULUT

Masmavi, açık ve berrak
Bir gökyüzüne
Denizlerden yükselen 
Dalgadan doğan bulutuz

Ay ışığında parlayan
Bir dolu hasret
Belki su, belki toprak
Belki şiirdir yolumuz

Yağmur ertesi
Bir tohumun neşesi
Rengarenk bir serüven
Yaşam dediğimiz oyun

LYRICS (ENGLISH TRANSLATION):

CLOUD 

We are clouds, born of waves
Rising from the seas 
Toward clear blue skies

A pile of longing
That sparkles in moonlight
Our destination is perhaps the water, perhaps the earth,
Perhaps a poem

The joy of a seed
After the rain
A multicolored journey
This game, we call life

A Twice Told Tale
