The Portuguese Headache Society and the MiGRA – The Portuguese Patients' Association have produced a video clip of a Migraine Song, to increase awareness of the public to the suffering of Migraine Patients. It is written in English and interpretation (as well as the music) is from a local artist, RIta RedShoes. Hope you enjoy it!  

“Migraine”

Another weekend I spent in bed
Thunder striking inside my head
What the hell have I done, this time?
Slept all night, had no wine...

I can't believe, this stupid pain
Comes out of nowhere, inside my brain
Bursting my head, fogging my mind
Knocking me down, stealing my time

I try to sleep, I try to rest
I take whatever pills I have left
I know this won't go away today

My pain,
Still in the dark
My pain
I close my eyes
My pain
Just let me be
Migraine
What can't you see?

It's just not fair, I try so hard
I'm always ready, always on guard
It strikes in silence, it strikes in sleep
I keep on being the weakest link

It's not a headache, it's just my curse
Everything I do just makes it worse
Nobody gets it, nobody can
How can I win? How can I plan?

Can I control this and have a life?
Become a mother, be a wife
Could it be too much to ask
to live beyond my healthy mask?

My pain,
Still in the dark
My pain
I close my eyes
My pain
Just let me be
Migraine
What can't you see?

I'm in despair, just let me be!
There's nothing you can do for me
Understand that I'm not my pain
If I can't win, I'll go insane

 

"Migraine"

Another weekend I spent in bed
Thunder clap in my head
What the hell did I do this time?
Slept all night, didn't have any wine...

I can't believe this nasty pain
Comes into my brain out of nowhere
It bursts my head, hits my mind
Knocking me down, stealing my time

I'm trying to sleep, I'm trying to rest
I'm taking all the pills I have left
I know he won't go away today

My pain,
Still in the dark
My pain
I close my eyes
My pain
Just let me be
Migraine
What can't you see?

It's just not fair, I try so hard
I'm always careful, always on guard
He strikes in silence, he strikes in his sleep
I'm just the weakest link

It's not a headache, it's just my curse
Everything I do just makes it worse
Nobody gets it, nobody can
How can I win? How can I plan?

Can I control this and have a life?
Becoming a mother, becoming a woman
Is it too much just to ask to
live beyond my healthy mask?

My pain,
Still in the dark
My pain
I close my eyes
My pain
Just let me be
Migraine
What can't you see?

I'm desperate, just let me be!
There's nothing you can do for me
Understand that I'm not my pain
If I can't win I'll go crazy
