ልቤ መሸነፉን እንዳይነግራት ሰጋ
ወራቱም አለፈ ክረምትና በጋ
የሆዴን መጨነቅ ፍቅሬ መች ገባት
ትስቃለች እሷ ልጅነት ይዟት

ልቤ መሸነፉን እንዳይነግራት ሰጋ
ወራቱም አለፈ ክረምትና በጋ
የሆዴን መጨነቅ ፍቅሬ መች ገባት
ትስቃለች እሷ ልጅነት ይዟት

በውበት ቁንጅና መልኳ መች አነሰ
ቀርቤ እንዳልነግራት ልጅነቷ ባሰ
የሆዴ መጨነቅ ባይገባት ነው ለሷ
ቀርቤ ስነግራት የሚስቀው ጥርሷ

ልቤ መሸነፉን እንዳይነግራት ሰጋ
ወራቱም አለፈ ክረምትና በጋ
የሆዴ መጨነቅ ፍቅሬ መች ገባት
ትስቃለች እሷ ልጅነት ይዟት

ተይ አስታሚው መራቅሽ ይቅር
ግፍ አትስሪ ጡር አለው ፍቅር
እንደሰት ልርሳሽ ከሆዴ አውጥቼ
ባይንሽ ውበት እዳ ገብቼ
እዳ ገብቼ እዳ ገብቼ
አስረሽኛል አልሠዎስም
እስቲ ፍቺኝ በይ እንደ ቄስ
እንዳልከስሽ ለመሪ፟ጌታ
ከልጅ ውሎ የለም ስሞታ
የለም ስሞታ የለም ስሞታ

ልቤ መሸነፉን እንዳይነግራት ሰጋ
ወራቱም አለፈ ክረምትና በጋ
የሆዴን መጨነቅ ፍቅሬ መች ገባት
ትስቃለች እሷ ልጅነት ይዟት

ልቤ መሸነፉን እንዳይነገሸራት ሰጋ
ወራቱም አለፈ ክረምትና በጋ
የሆዴን መጨነቅ ፍቅሬ መች ገባት
ትስቃለች እሷ ልጅነት ይዟት

ልነግራት እልና ነገ ዛሬ እያልኩኝ
የፍቅርን እረመጥ አዝዬው ከረምኩኝ
ሆዴ ላይሆንለት እንዲያው ተጨነቀ
ሁኔታዋ ሁሉ ነብስ እንዳላዎቀ

ልቤ መሸነፉን እንዳይነግራት ሰጋ
ወራቱም አለፈ ክረምትና በጋ
የሆዴን መጨነቅ ፍቅሬ መች ገባት
ትስቃለች እሷ ልጅነት ይዟት

አሳምሮ ውበት ቢያድላት
ፍቅር አታውቅም ልጅነት አላት
ተመኝቼው ድንቅ ውበቷን
እንዴት ላርገው ልጅነቷን
ልጅነቷን ልጅነቷን

ቀድማ ስቃ ቀልቤን ገዛችው
ልቤን ማርካ ደጅ አስጠናችው
ወይ አትደግፈኝ አዝና ለነብሷ
ትስቃለች ተይዤ በሷ
ተይዤ በሷ ተይዤ በሷ

አሳምሮ ውበት ቢያድላት
ፍቅር አታውቅም ልጅነት አላት
ልጅነት አላት ልጅነት አላት
ተመኝቼው ድንቅ ውበቷን
እንዴት ላርገው ልጅነቷን
ልጅነቷን ልጅነቷን

My heart is racing; please don't let my body tell,
Months have passed, through the rainy and summer seasons;
The burning in my stomach, my love, has taken over,
Torturing me, for she is still a child.

My heart is racing; please don't let my body tell,
Months have passed, through the rainy and summer seasons;
The burning in my stomach, my love, has taken over,
Torturing me, for she is still a child.

Her beauty traps me, her grace enslaves,
I come close, but her youthful age keeps me at bay,
The fire in my stomach burns for her alone,
When I get near, her smile disarms me.

My heart is racing; please don't let my body tell,
Months have passed, through the rainy and summer seasons;
The burning in my stomach, my love, has taken over,
Torturing me, for she is still a child.

Oh my beautiful, forgive my distance,
Do not be angry, for my love is pure,
Like a dream, I'll forget you, erase you from my heart,
But your beauty remains, a debt I can't repay,
A debt I owe, a debt I owe,
You have captured me, yet I am not your husband,
Oh, please release me, as a priest would from sin,
For I have not seduced you, I swear by my God,
A child's heart is innocent, it knows no guile,
It knows no guile, it knows no guile.

My heart is racing; please don't let my body tell,
Months have passed, through the rainy and summer seasons;
The burning in my stomach, my love, has taken over,
Torturing me, for she is still a child.

My heart is racing; please don't let my body betray me,
Months have passed, through the rainy and summer seasons;
The burning in my stomach, my love, has taken over,
Torturing me, for she is still a child.

I say I'll tell her tomorrow, but then I tell myself today,
I prepare the words of love, but then I chicken out,
My stomach churns, it can't take it anymore,
And I still don't know what to do.

My heart is racing; please don't let my body tell,
Months have passed, through the rainy and summer seasons;
The burning in my stomach, my love, has taken over,
Torturing me, for she is still a child.

Her beauty may fade with age,
But her love will remain, though she is still young,
I cherish her exquisite beauty,
How can I let her go, though she is but a child,
Though she is but a child.

Love has invaded my heart, and now it commands,
It has wounded my heart, and now it demands,
Oh, do not abandon me, I beg you, my love,
The pain is unbearable, it's killing me inside,
Killing me inside, killing me inside.

Her beauty may fade with age,
But her love will remain, though she is still young,
Though she is still young,
I cherish her exquisite beauty,
How can I let her go, though she is but a child,
Though she is but a child.
