Before you came along everywhere was in darkness
The world was desolate and still, I don't know why
I searched everywhere for a sweet light,
For a fire to warm my heart
When you came along it was as if a new sun rose
My day and night alight, life is sweet now
Everything suddenly changed
Who knew life was so difficult without you?
Oh petroleum, my dear petroleum
I am dependent on you now petroleum
My beginning petroleum, my end petroleum
You hold the reins now petroleum
So proud, I cannot go near you
Who knows how many lovers have you seduced
You speak of nothing but Dollars and Marks
How I am suffering because of you
Many a wealthy temptress pursue your love
All dreams aside you cannot be my lover
Perhaps one day you'll leave for good
Here I cry for that day already
