Manu
Manu had to leave his mother
He had to leave his land
To go to a distant land
Mom said: Child, don't go
I can't bear without you
I'll die of loneliness
Yes, I won't die of hunger
Without someone to look after us
Without food, we have to work
So we don't suffer
One day his father died
Victim of a different disease
And he was left alone with his mother
That's why today he's abroad
Fighting against sea and wind
To make his mother happy
He returns to his land
He hugs his mother
A month later, he goes back abroad
With an immigrant document
