about

The idea came from a riff I found with the acoustic guitar... and then after having tried different ways of playing it, got fixed on the 6/8. Most of the lyrics came naturally when I recorded the vocals ideas.

We are ALL migrants... but most of the countries don't want them on their soils and lands... A lot of people rejected them saying you're no one of us, get back to your land... Politics use them... No real humanity here, cruelty and no empathy except for the only ones who take care of...

lyrics

Teradélie / The Migrant Song

Who cares about you now
That you lost everything
Who would be there
If ever you fall again
Nobody cares for you
Nobody there for you
You better run and hide away
You better say goodbye

He was the only one
Who welcomed you home
He was the only one
Who said “put your baggage down”

Nobody cares anymore
For other people in the world
Nobody says come on now
Join us and be happy !

Everybody says come back to your land
We don’t want you here, don’t want you here
Come back to your land

They’re dancing in circles
Singing all along
Dreaming for a new life
For a brand new life
Full of hope, full of life,
Full of dreams, full of joy
They’re dancing in circles
Singing all along
Dreaming for a new light
For a brand new life
Full of hope, full of life,
Full of dreams, full of joy - aaah

Nobody cares anymore for anyone of us
Nobody wants us anymore in this sacred land
Everybody says go out
Get out of our land

He was the only one
Who wished you welcome
He was the only one
Who said “you’re home”

Get out of our land
You bloody strangers
You’re no one of us, no one of us, no one of us
No one of us!

He was the only one
Who said he wanted you there
He was the only one
Who opened his door, opened his door…
