I'm far from our lands
I'm going there 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
But on that reef-filled sea
Tell my ancestors and tell Mama
That it'll be wonderful in Lampedusa
I'll spend happy days in Lampedusa
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
Even if the waves pound
The next stop's Eldorado
Tell my ancestors and tell Mama
That everything will be better in Lampedusa
I'll spend happy days in Lampedusa
Tell my ancestors and tell Mama
That it'll be wonderful in Lampedusa
Tell my ancestors, tell Moussa
I'll find happy days in Lampedusa
This thought will be the last
