Vapor Di Imigrason
Mayra Andrade
Immigration Ship
Oh God, in the sacrifice of strangers
My heart lived tight
It was so much suffering endured
With longing and pain that never watered our land
Oh sea, receive this morna you surrender
Say that one day our children won't feel more longing
We never cry for our children who go far away
On the immigration ship
On the immigration ship
My people, children of hope
We reach out, we join hands
And every day as we grow older
With the strength of tradition
Wind cutting us in the world
In working with the sea we were brave
We try to break, to humble pride
On the immigration ship
On the immigration ship
