[English]
They wanted to give me to a man, but I refused, as I didn’t love him
I want to choose a man for myself, who I love
I love Bourama, but he didn’t treat me right
I love Sola, but he didn’t treat me right
I love Alama, but he didn’t treat me right
Chorus
So what to do?
So what to do?
So what to do?
So what to do?
They wanted to give me to a man, but I refused, as I didn’t love him
I wanted to choose a man myself, who I love
I love Bourama, but he didn’t treat me right
I love Sola, but he didn’t treat me right
I love Alama, but he didn’t treat me right
Chorus
I rejected everyone
As you are the one I love
How did you do this to me?
How could you do it? x3
How could you do it to me?
You reject the man that you love because he has nothing
To go after another who has material wealth
You accept another man because of his possessions
Now he’s also getting rid of you, as he has the means to
Chorus x2
