Ya Ba Ye lyrics

YA BI NA YA!

Tell me why,

Tell me why

You run?

My mother's always told me:

YA BINTI,

Don't forget,

MIN FAIN IN-TI,

Remember who you are,

Listen to the voice,

That plays in your head,

Make the right choice.

Tell me why,

Tell me why?

YA BI NA YA!

Tell me why,

Tell me why

You run?

My mother says, my mother says:

YA BA YE, YA BA YE,

Tell me why,

Tell me why

You run?

I had to see it my way,

'Cause life is very short.

The more I try to learn,

The less I seem to know…

Oh, I cry in my bed,

Ye, I miss my home,

The home I can't forget…

I hear my mother's voice…

Tell me why,

Tell me why?

YA BI NA YA!

Tell me why,

Tell me why

You cry?

My mother says, my mother says:

YA BA YE, YA BA YE!

Don't run away!

YA BA YE, YA BA YE!

Tell me why,

Tell me why?

YA BI NA YA!

Tell me why,

Tell me why

You run?

My mother says, my mother says:

YA BA YE, YA BA YE,

Tell me why,

Tell me why?

YA BI NA YA!

Don't run away!

YA BA YE, YA BA YE!

Tell me why,

Tell me why

You cry?

Don't run away!

YA BA YE, YA BA YE!

Don't run away!

YA BA YE, YA BA YE!
