Open the borders, open the borders
Open the borders, open the borders

You come every year
Summer as well as winter
And we always receive you
With open arms
You are at home here
After all, it doesn't matter
We want to leave so
Open the door for us

Open the borders, open the borders
Open the borders, open the borders

From Cape to Gibraltar
We are thousands
Wanting like you
To come without an appointment
We want to travel
And also to work
But we didn't
Refuse you the visa

Open the borders, open the borders
Open the borders, open the borders

We also want to know the chance to study,
The chance to see our dreams come true,
To have a good job, to be able to travel,
To know what you call freedom.

We want our families to lack nothing,
We want to have this life where we eat our fill,
We want to leave this daily misery for good,
We want to leave here because we are all going crazy!

Open the borders, open the borders
Let us pass ...
Open the borders, open the borders

There's not a drop of water
To fill our bucket
Not even a drop of rain
At the bottom of the well
When the stomach is empty
On the way to school
One beautiful day he decides
To take flight

Open the borders, open the borders
Let us pass ...
Open the borders, open the borders

Open the door, here, we're suffocating,
We are many who want the Western dream,
Open the door, here, the youth is running out of breath,
Don't you see that for us it's vital!

Open the borders, open the borders
Let us pass ...
Open the borders, open the borders

You have taken our beaches
And their golden sand
Put the animal in a cage
And beaten our forests
What's left for us
When our hands are empty
We prepare for the journey
And we throw ourselves into the void

Open the borders, open the borders
Let us pass ...
Open the borders, open the borders
Let us pass ...
Open the borders, open the borders
Let us pass ...
Open the borders, open the borders
Let us pass ...
