Bilingual
First time on a plane, 18, you came
You found a door and held it open
ย
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
ย
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
Holding on to grandma's hands
Let them adore you, Carmen
Carmen, I will
ย
Carmen, Carmen, Carmen, I will
ย
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, I'm still
Carmen, I will
ย
Carmen, Carmen
I'm still, I'm still, oh
(Carmen, Carmen, Carmen, Carmen, Carmen)
ย
Stronger than I'll ever be
ย
Carmen, Carmen, I will
Only place I wanna stand
ย
Carmen, Carmen, I will
Carmen, Carmen, I'm still
Carmen, I will
Carmen, Carmen
I'm still, I'm still, oh
