Buffy Sainte-Marie — Welcome Welcome Emigrante lyrics

Lyrics

Oh welcome, welcome emigrante,
to my country, welcome home.
Welcome, welcome emigrante,
to the country that I love.
I am proud, I am proud,
I am proud of my forefathers and I say
they built this country.
And they came from far away
to a land they didn’t know,
the same way you did, my friend.
So welcome, welcome emigrante,
to my country, welcome home.
Welcome, welcome emigrante,
to the country that I love.
I am proud, I am proud,
I am proud of my forefathers and I say
about their courage.
For they spoke a foreign language
and they laboured with theirs hands,
the same way you did, my friend.
So welcome, welcome emigrante,
to my country, welcome home.
Welcome, welcome emigrante,
to the country that I love.
