The immigrant Lyrics by Arielle Diba

2023

Nga ko'o lôdeu nyam, nen ndo' ne nen (x4)
(No don't look back, keep on moving forward)
He packed his bags
Said a prayer with his wife
And kissed his child goodbye
He has to leave before the sun rise
This will be his last try
He has spent all he’s got
It won’t be easy he says
But he will get there anyway
He walked for days through the storm and rain
Standing there before the sea
He hopes he will make it
Now he’s calling all thе gods he can
Begging them to rеach that land
So he would have a chance to talk to his daughter again
(ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Call him the immigrant
(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Yo pobo be si, ngue lôdou. Ko’o kwo'
(Your father is here and he watches over you. Don’t cry! )
He made it safe
To this cold cold land
First thing try to call his chid
To say daddy's alright
Crossing the street he took a quick glance (yeah)
At all the people standing there to protest
He has no time to waste, life is ahead!
(ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Call him the immigrant
(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Yo pobo be si, ngue lohdou. Ko’o kwo!
(Your father watches over you. Don’t cry! )
Who is to blame?
When did it startand how will it end?
If you are rich they say expatriate
If you are poor, follow the stars in the desert
But to my eyes we're all the same
Looking for better days
