About the Album

This beautiful song, sung by Lionel Loueke with Gretchen Parlato, guitar by Lionel Loueke, Massimo Biolcati on bass and Cyro Baptista on percussion, is "Rossignol", or Nightingale, and was written by Lionel Loueke.

The lyrics, in English, mean:
God has blessed you with this voice
If a Man gave you this voice, he would take it back
A sound so beautiful
Even the birds above wish to sing like you
God has blessed you with this voice
You are a nightingale, my sweet.
