I think of you, my love

I, who am far from our lands

I'm going for you, my love

For Mama and for my brothers

Over there it's a land of welcome

I'll soon be on the doorstep

Over there it's Europe

But on this reef-strewn sea

Under this mourning moon

We bail, we bail

Tell my elders and tell Mama

That it'll be wonderful in Lampedusa

Tell my elders

Tell Moussa

I'll spend happy days in Lampedusa

I think of you, my love

You, what are you doing

Don't worry, my love

Soon you'll be so proud

And even if the weather turns bad

Even if the wind hits us

I'll arrive soon

Even if the wind smacks us

The next stop is El Dorado

Tell my elders and tell Mama

Everything'll be better in Lampedusa

Tell my elders

Tell Moussa

I'll spend happy days in Lampedusa

My God, my God

I've dreamed so much of this place

I was going for you and me

I've dreamed so much of this place

This place I won't love

If you knew, my God

How cold I am

My God, my God

I said goodbye to you

But don't say anything to Mama

I still see your eyes

I hear their samba

While I sink in the middle

Off Lampedusa

My God, my God

I've dreamed so much of being me

Don't say anything to Mama

I'm sinking in the middle off Lampedusa

I think of you, my love

This thought'll be the last
