sandy placido – great migration كلمات اغاني

get off the train
and now i find myself
in promise land

back home we lived in terror
lynching mobs
no jobs we had

that up north
a man could work if black

and then i just
packed my bags

como ancestros
es nada nuevo

y me encuentro
con gran sed

a generation p-sses
here we are
in great distress

a one room flat
and a shared bathroom

is as laundress

husband’s factory
just won’t take him

que todo
cambie

that everything
changes)

no hay mal que dure cien años
ni cuerpo
que lo resiste
