When an alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien. The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
— Leviticus 19:33-34

 

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
they built this country / For they came from far
away to a land they did not know / The same way
you do, my friends

Chorus

I am proud, I am proud, I am proud of my
forefathers / And I sing about their courage / For
the spoke a foreign language and they labored
with their hands / The same way
you do my friends

Chorus

I am proud, I am proud, I am proud of my
forefathers / And I sing about their patience / For the
work they did was lowly and they dirtied up their
clothes / And they spoke a foreign language and
they labored with their hands / And they came
from far away to a land they did not know / The
same way you do, my Friends.

Thanks Buffy, I sing this song with you.
