First time on a plane 18, you came You found a door and held it open
No way to know how to make a home In someone else's motherland
You transplanted a family tree And a part of it grew into me
* You're stronger than I'll ever be Never got a jubilee
I'll throw it for you, Carmen, Carmen I will
The only place I wanna stand Holding on to grandma's hands
Let them adore you, Carmen, Carmen I will
Carmen, Carmen
Look at all the trouble that you made
Carved your initials in this island But the Weetabix don't taste the same
And we're all talking to our phones
But you reigned over a family tree And I'll carefully carry the seeds
( * )
I will Carmen, Carmen, Carmen I will
Stronger than I'll ever be (Carmen, Carmen Carmen, Carmen) Carmen, Carmen I will
Only place I wanna stand Carmen, Carmen I will Carmen, Carmen I'm still Carmen I will
