I saw in your eyes, the story of a panicked man
As life knocks us down, you left without any idea
Stars in your eyes, you want to keep your dignity
So you hit the road, for Europe and its qualities

They sold you a dream (dream, die)
They sold you a dream (dream, die)
You left your country (dream, die)
Because they sold you a dream (dream, die)

On this boat, you lost a lot of friends
All you wanted was to reach Italy
You trusted men, bad idea, bad idea
You trusted men (bad idea, bad idea)
Stuck in the desert, far from home and your family
A can of water for ten, it's not what they promised you

There's only you left, Nzambé
Nzambé, don't let us down

I saw in your eyes, the story of a panicked man
As life knocks us down, you left without any idea
Stars in your eyes, you want to keep your dignity
So you hit the road, for Europe and its qualities

They sold you a dream (dream, die)
They sold you a dream (dream, die)
You left your country (dream, die)
Because they sold you a dream (dream, die)

In the middle of this boat, you're afraid of slipping
Ooh, piled up, piled up, piled up, it's the truth
It's to help your family, that you left everything
Ooh, beaten up, beaten up, beaten up, you didn't deserve it
Three hundred hungry souls, no more humanity
Ooh, move forward, move forward, move forward, forced to fight

There's only you left, Nzambé
Nzambé, don't let us down

I saw in your eyes, the story of a panicked man
As life knocks us down, you left without any idea
Stars in your eyes, you want to keep your dignity
So you hit the road, for Europe and its qualities

They sold you a dream (dream, die)
They sold you a dream (dream, die)
You left your country (dream, die)
Because they sold you a dream (dream, die)

You just wanted to leave, you just wanted to escape
But you didn't know
No, you didn't know
You just wanted to escape, you just wanted to leave
You didn't know
No, you didn't know
Ooh, but you didn't know
No, you didn't know
Ooh, you didn't know
No, you didn't know
Ooh, but you didn't know
No, you didn't know
Ooh, you didn't know
No, you didn't know
