On A Boat Songtext
von Gab De La Vega

I am guilty ′cause I have to leave this land
I can't come back to my sons with empty hands

I will try to be back then
Even if I′m not sure I will get there

I said goodbye to all my friends
My beloved, kiss me once again

With my brothers on a boat that barely floats
In this sea we cut the dark waves like a sword

I don't know what to expect there
But they told me white men won't respect me

A fistul of hope in a foreign land
I miss home, will I ever see it again?


A journey to be free
As everyone should live
As you live quietly I need a place to be
I′m so alone
Far from home

I′m just trying to find a way
To live in peace some day
You see we are brothers in this world gone wild
A blood pact that drenched my land in tears

So please don't point me out
Don′t give me all the faults
The world is sick and we are on the same boat
In this sea of misery we share our hope
