Libertango is written by famous composer Astor Piazzolla, recorded in 1974 in Milan. Grace Jones wrote lyrics to the piece with Barry Reynolds, recording it in 1981 under the title ‘I’ve seen that face before’. Musically we’ve taken the Grace Jones version as our inspiration so we try and keep a bit of a reggae backbeat going. In keeping with our Turkish focus, we decided to write additional Turkish lyrics to replace Jones’ French ones. We wanted our additional lyrics to reflect the darkness and the passion of the music.

Strange I’ve seen that face before
Seen him hanging round my door
Like a hawk stealing from the prey
Like the night waiting for the day

Gozlerin kalbimde ayak izleri
Olumsuz asklarin dans sahnesi
Ellerin bir avci kapani
Dudaklarin tutkudan yarali

Translates as;
Your eyes are footsteps in my heart
The stage of eternal love
Your hands are the snares of a hunter
Your lips are wounded by passion

Kapilari kapatsak
Bitmeyen bir duse dalsak
Ask ruya sonsuz
Ask ruya sonsuz

Translates as;
What if we close the doors
And fall into a never ending dream
Love dream forever
Love dream forever
