Wéyé wéyé oh
Wéyé wéyé oh

A bit like a boat
I move forward facing the sea
I sail on the waves
A bit like a boat
I move forward and I am proud
Of what my back carries
A bit like a boat
That finds its balance
Between the waves and the chaos
A bit like a boat
I move forward and I am proud
Of what my back carries
A bit like a boat
Mom says that despite the trials
You have to keep smiling
Smile at life
And that there is always something good
To take as long as we breathe
Or else we don't keep quiet
We go
Facing the wind while praying
With all our strength scratched by time
A bit like a boat
I move forward facing the sea
I sail on the waves
A bit like a boat
I move forward and I am proud
Of what my back carries
A bit like a boat
That finds its balance
Between the waves and the chaos
A bit like a boat
I move forward and I am proud
Of what my back carries
A bit like a boat
With time everything drifts away
With time everything drifts away
With time everything drifts away
With time everything heals
I remember our hands dead from the cold
This heavy bag on our shoulders
To eat our fill when life made its law
Sharper than a knife
And then we get used to it, hm
And then we get used to it, oh
And then we get used to it, ouh
And then we get used to it, get used to it, oh
A bit like a boat
I move forward facing the sea
I sail on the waves
A bit like a boat
I move forward and I am proud
Of what my back carries
A bit like a boat
That finds its balance
Between the waves and the chaos
A bit like a boat
I move forward and I am proud
Of what my back carries
A bit like a boat
With time everything drifts away
With time everything drifts away
With time everything drifts away
With time
And I row, row, row, row, I row on the waters
And I row, row, row, row, but hope flows abundantly
And I row, row, row, row, I row on the waters
And I row, row, row, row
A bit like a boat
I move forward facing the sea
I sail on the waves
A bit like a boat
I move forward and I am proud
Of what my back carries
A bit like a boat
That finds its balance
Between the waves and the chaos
A bit like a boat
I move forward, I am proud
Of what my back carries (A bit like a boat)
Like a boat
Like a boat
Like a boat
Like, like a boat
Like a boat
Like a boat
Like a boat
Like, like a boat
Like a boat
Like a boat
Like a boat
Like, like a boat
Like a boat
Like a boat
Like a boat
Like, like a boat
