Immigrant Song

No frets, no failures*
No doubts, no annoyance,
No gasses, no leaks,
No cages, no fences,
No crisis, no loans,
No days of boredom,
No rows, no taunts,
No snakes, no bears,
No worries!
No pocks, no teeth,
No bites, no burns,
No war, no riots,
No bombs, swellings,
No plagues, no divorce,
No poison, pest control,
No quakes, no breaks,
No scratches, no dents,
No worries!
A list of wishes,
A boat full of people,
A bird that sings,
Your sweetheart endeared,
Your entire family,
Together, Sicily,
Your son, your daughter,
No one deprived,
No worries!
A project, a trip,
A leaf, a shower,
A butterfly, a blossom,
A glass with dregs,
A thrush, a tit,
Cosy, a party,
A house, a home
And even a hearth,
No worries!
The days that march,
On heavy, stealthy,
Twisted practices,
That always seem like
Dreams, stories,
In which we lose way,
And puzzle over,
Faces pale,
Don't wander, don't sulk,
Don't be glum, don't fib,
Don't tease, don't hit,
Don't talk crap but move on,
With love, with life,
With taking and giving,
With vigour and hopes,
The options are open,
No worries!
