Barca ou Barzakh (Barcelona or the afterlife)

Is D-day for all of us, time to smile?
We have been seating for a long while
Travelling in this small boat
120 people, 11 of which are already mort
My arms and feet’s skin is stripped
The Red Cross said needs to be amputated
My stomach and mind are emptied
My soul, of hopes is full
My dad’s words keeps repeating in my mind
“Pray, keep your fears away,
With those you are travelling, be kind”
During these 16 days how many times
I though I wouldn’t survive
But we made it, we ‘aaga aaduna’*
From Dakar, now heading towards Barcelona
Hunger, famine and pain
All should finish once I reach Spain
As they did on the Normandy landing
We must do the same now
The terror of Nazis, they were fighting
We’ve to fight for the future of our families anyhow
‘Barca ou Barzakh’ a very difficult decision to make
If your family were struggling, which decision would you take?
Die on the sea, or your entire family dying seeing
Tell me which option gonna be?
