＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

Sun drip on my skin—slow

Whispers in the trade winds blow

No passport, just the flow

Ready? 1-2, let’s go

Golden light in your iris

Footsteps beatin’ on the Cyprus

Heartbeat sync with the tide

We don’t speak—but we ride

Languages melt in the bassline

She laugh in Portuguese, I reply in Naija sign

No map, just moon for a guide

One rhythm, two worlds collide

Air tastes like mango and fireflies

You smile with your shoulders and closed eyes

Where you from? you say "here and now"

Feel the sun, no need to ask how

(Wave it—wave it!)

Hands in the air like we born of the same sky

(Sway it—sway it!)

One drop, one sound, no reason to ask why

Mi amor, mon frère, my soul

This heat got no control

Borderless—borderless

We dance, we don’t confess

Bam bam, shake ground, feel da beat

From Lagos to Rio, no retreat

Fire leg move like dey on repeat

We dance until time lose its seat

Flash of color in your twirl

Skin like cinnamon, eyes like pearl

No subtitles, no delay

Your rhythm say all you wanna say

Sahara wind in my braids

Drums echo through the arcade

City fades, the beat remains

Where you end is where I begin

Night spill like velvet wine

Feet trace lines, ancient design

No name for this pull, this tide

But somehow I feel you inside

Go low—eh! Spin it—yeah!

Na who dey call me? Vibe dey tear!

Zaga zaga, e no dey tire

Dey dance like flame, we spark da fire

(Wave it—wave it!)

Hands in the air like we born of the same sky

(Sway it—sway it!)

One drop, one sound, no reason to ask why

Mi amor, mon frère, my soul

This heat got no control

Borderless—borderless

We dance, we don’t confess

(Borderless... ahhh)

Feet on fire, heart wide open

(Borderless... ooooh)

No wall, just ocean motion

(Borderless... come close)

One sun, one pulse, one notion

(Borderless summer, no translation)
