Translation: |
|
Oh father, mother |
|
Don't make me marry him for money |
|
I love another |
|
Whose eyes are kind and lips are honey |
|
The cattle grazing fields are free |
|
So why enbondage me |
|
Your cows and oxen can be sold |
|
Do not enslave my soul |
|
Oh father, mother |
|
Your nights are stormed |
|
With rain and thunder |
|
Oh father, mother |
|
Your nights are stormed |
|
With rain and thunder |
|
The water gushing from the sky |
|
Is teardrops from my eyes |
|
The thunder tearing skies apart |
|
The Beating of my heart |
