Manu
Manu had to leave his mom
He had to leave his land to go to a faraway place
Mom told him: Son, don’t go
I can’t stand being without you
I’m dying just from the loneliness
Manu had to leave his mom
He had to leave his land to go to a faraway place
Mom told him: Son, don’t go
I can’t stand being without you
I’m dying just from the loneliness
If I don’t go, I won’t die from hunger
Without anyone to watch over us
Without dad, we have to work
So we don’t suffer
If I don’t go, I won’t die from hunger
Without anyone to watch over us
Without dad, we have to work
So we don’t suffer
Once upon a time, his dad died
Victim of a different disease
He’s left alone with his mom
Today he’s in a foreign land
Fighting against the sea and wind to make his mom happy
He returns home to his land
He hugs his mom
A month later he goes back to the foreign land
With an immigrant document
He returns home to his land
He hugs his mom
A month later he goes back to the foreign land
With an immigrant document
