Bida Mariadu [English translation]

Ah ah ah

Eia eia eia

- My son, where have you been?

- Mother, I've been trying to make a living

This is a sad, mean life

At night I ask myself "what am I going to do?"

Then morning comes and I'm still jobless

I'm desperate but this world is so ungrateful

I'm desperate but God is great

Ah ah ah

Eia eia eia

- My son, you need to stay strong

Don't you let it turn you down

Things in life never come easy

You got to have some willpower

When you're poor, you have no choice but wait

So be brave and carry on in our daily struggle

-The power of God is greater than all

It's been said that if we work hard we'll be rewarded

My son, keep on trying

Good things come to those who wait
