If we had split, my dear
If we had lived apart from one another
Look, my beloved, my love
My love, my love, my warm home
If we had been raised in different homes
We wouldn't have met, we wouldn't have come together
Your village and our village are very far apart
Perhaps we would never have met
I might have married another woman
I would have been with someone else
I would have had children with someone else
I would have spent my days with someone else
I would have had another home
I would have had a different wife
But thank goodness I'm with you now
Thank goodness I'm with you
My love, my love, my warm home
Oh, my beloved, my love
My soul mate
It could have been a disaster for me
Oh, my beloved, my love
