Lyrics
ERITREAN BOY
(Lyrics and Music by Stefanos)
Eritrean boy where you going this time
Eritrean boy whom you're leaving behind
Eritrean boy with a pain in your heart
Eritrean boy where you going this time
You've been called a refugee in a foreign land
Paid the price for a cause you could not understand
Oh you've been through the desert reaching out for freedom
But it was an illusion you found out on your way
You've been to many places
You've seen so many faces
But losing all the traces
Leading back to where you once belonged
Working hard for a future far away from your home
Trying to find a solution to your destiny
Now you are crying out of sorrow in a moment of truth
Sad and lonely is the feeling when you can't go on
Eritrean boy where you going this time
Eritrean boy whom you're leaving behind
Eritrean boy with a pain in your heart
Eritrean boy where you going this time
Freedom fighters shed all their blood
Struggling only in the name of the land
Day by day as the years rolled by
Arms in arms they fought till the day they died
Eritrea the sun is shining Eritra Imbaba
Eritrea the sun is shining Eritra Imbaba
Beloved land to all of your people
The time has come to celebrate
Sacrifice everything for tomorrow
Till the day of victory ... Oh
Eritrea the sun is shining Eritra Imbaba
Eritrea the sun is shining Eritra Imbaba
Fade...
