Lyrics
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
Is holding on to grandma’s hand
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
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
Is holding on to grandma’s hand
Let them adore you
Carmen, Carmen
I will
Carmen, Carmen
I will
