7 am and still awake, lost in my thoughts and sadness
From you're early age people ask you what job you'd like to do in the future
They teach you that you gotta have a job to get money
I spent nights and days learning my books, today my dreams are leaving
And their destination: a boat and a sea
My country always got a place in my heart , I'm still singing about you
I see the waves in front of me, but there's no coming back
I gotta make it or die trying
Hey mama, I'm saying bye even if you cry
My life is over, I want to have euros and live a good life
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye, bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
Life wants me to be doubting and smart
Today I'm telling you bye bye bye bye bye
I will have them (Paper of residence), I will get married to a European girl so quickly
A blonde or a brunette, we'll party every single day, dying my hair and drinking a bottle of wine to get comfortable
And tomorrow I'll buy a nice car and head to Marina (Tetouane) in the summer
Now I have a red passeport and a very beautiful wife
I've put the love of my past behind me
Today I'm in Tetouane's beach and tomorrow I'll be taking a plane to Ibiza
Years have passed, still got no papers of residence and still haven't found love
I'm getting older and my situation is getting worse
I'm just a young man who wanted to make it in Europe, who wanted to live legally with dignity
It's been years and he hasn't seen his parents in Morocco, he also forgot about his prayer
He has always wanted to come back home and kiss his parent's hands
He didn't know he would come back in a coffin
Hey mama, I'm saying bye even if you cry
My life is over, I want to have euros and live a good life
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye, bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
Life wants me to be doubting and smart
Today I'm telling you bye bye bye bye bye
