Létt Ma

From the Nile, from the Nile I ask you to come to me or to write to me
I miss your dear face
Please hurry and come home to me when the day breaks
Yaw, come now, hurry up
Please hurry and come home to me
If you forget me, the waves of the sea will take you away
I will not leave you alone, I will not let you suffer
Come to me or write to me
I ask you to come to me or to write to me
I ask you to come to me or to write to me
Come again and let me see you
I have brought a lot of provisions and I want to give them to you
Come home now
I am waiting for you to come and get me
If you forget me, the waves of the sea will take you away
I will not leave you alone, I will not let you suffer

Come to me or write to me
I ask you to come to me or to write to me
I ask you to come to me or to write to me
My tongue is tired of talking about love matters
Ask me to tell you what is in my heart
My tongue is tired of talking about love matters
Ask me to tell you what is in my heart
Come to me or write to me
I ask you to come to me or to write to me
I ask you to come to me or to write to me
When I tell you I want to come
I tell you I want to stay
Give me what I ask for, tell me what I want to hear, do what I want you to do
I love you, I love you
I ask you to come to me or to write to me
I ask you to kiss me, to hug me, but only if you love me and want to be hugged ...
