I think of you my love
_____
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
_____
Under that mourning moon
_____
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
_____
I think of you my love
_____
This thought will be the last
