Jamal: The Illegal Immigrant

He’s a lonely soul, searching for fortune abroad
Only God knows what he’s been going through
Working hard all day, working night and day, he’s so far away
Every night in this foreign country he prays
He would say to his family so so far away:
«Mother don’t you cry,
Father please don’t let her cry
Mother don’t you cry,
Father please don’t let her cry
I’ll be back one day
I will take you away from this slum, and degradation
I will show you one day
I’ll be rich one day, We’ll be free one day»
He’s a lonely soul, searching for fortune abroad
He has seen it all, all the pain and hunger back home
Where he was born, where he found love, so so so far away
Every day in this foreign country he thinks of her
He would say to his wife so so far away:
«Baby don’t you cry,
Oh my baby please don’t cry
Baby don’t you cry,
Oh my baby please don’t cry
I’ll be back one day
I will take you away from this slum, and degradation
I will show you,
I’ll be rich one day, We’ll be free one day»
