about

I wrote these songs back in 2016 while still playing with Decasa - in the spirit of channeling my frustration at Trump's election and the decline of America into a rock song about identifying with my ethnic homeland over the country where I currently reside, with some silly stories from my family history sung in Portuguese.

Translation of portuguese verses:

When my father was a boy,
He found a potato
"A potato!" (he said), near the house
On the island of Madeira

My grandmother doesn't like airplanes
She doesn't like airplanes
Because of turbulence
She prayed, she swore she would never again
travel by plane - so she came by boat!

lyrics

Goodbye America
Goodbye America, Hello Madeira
Goodbye America, Hello Madeira
X2

Quando o meu pai era um menino
Ele encontrou uma batata
Uma batata! Perto de casa
Na ilha da Madeira

Minha avó não gosta de aviões
Aí ela não gosta de aviões
Por causa do turbulencia
Ela rezou, ela jurou que nunca mais
Ía de avião — ela foi de barco!

Goodbye America, Hello Madeira
Goodbye America, Hello Madeira

America’s no good no more, let’s go to Madeira
America’s no good no more, let’s go to Madeira
America’s no good no more
Count the Trump supporters
Get down on the floor
Sometimes we all want to disappear
So why not bring Madeira right here
