Rough English translation of the lyrics:
[Man]
She is like an Abole [a flower]
Full in body, wet [soft] in her heart
[She has a] seductive smile that tempts
[It feels like] I just had her, yet she slips away
Hovering around her are honey bees,
And tweeting around her are flocks of birds,
[Also] luscious intoxicated young roosters,
They have warm calls and long crowns.
I have spent many a sleepless nights,
I have swallowed many a bottles, as medicine
I have worked hard to the point of bleeding
And have lit lamps and sung paeans
Yet she doesn’t give [in]
She has fed the sweetness of her love to everyone but me
That why she would exclude me is not known to me
Even the kids [undeserving people] make fun of me
They say..
She’s a princess, and that I am a frog
She’s a mermaid, and I a clam
A rock,
A spoiled coconut
A bamboo bent with weight of the age
That she shines like gold,
Has pearly teeth,
Curly hair
And is multi faceted
That I don’t dare ogle or drool at her
That I am a crow, and not a peacock
[I feel] Not much can change until it's time
So I have no option but wait & long for her
They say what they fancy…
That she’s a nymph, and that I’m a pawn
That she fancies only heavy weights
That I’m so dumb
And a $x#!!
I get nervous around her
My body turns limp [when it matters]
The fire is doused even without any water
I do not know why that is so
[I am no ordinary man] I have earned many a stars around the world
So much so that the town folks sing my glory
It has rained so much
that all the crop has washed away
Yet, I’m so thirsty
Our hearts remain distant
I’m so thirsty…
[Life]
I’m a rushing river
That no dam or fence can hold back
So if you truly want to have me
Search inside yourself
[Man]
She is like an Abole [a flower]
Full in body, wet [soft] in her heart
[She has a] seductive smile that tempts
[It feels like] I just had her, yet she slips away
RoQ [Republic of Quepem] On! With etlobad & humtoo
[Chorus]
