My People (Samay nit)

I only want to tell you what I feel inside
I am sad and very disappointed
Disappointment makes me cry
Think about your children and those who died in the war
Think about your children and those who are suffering

Forgive them, I beg you, have mercy on me
Respect me and do not speak to me in that way
Think about the starving children and the homeless
Think about those who are sick and those who are poor
I am your child
I only want to tell you what I feel inside

Chorus (twice)
You you you you
You, who are so beautiful, come and dance with me

Think about your children and those who died in the war
Think about your children and those who are suffering
You are like the wind, so light and free
Forgive them, I beg you, have mercy on me
Respect me and do not speak to me in that way
I only want to tell you what I feel inside

Chorus (twice)

Forgive them forgive them forgive them forgive them ah (4 times)

Chorus (twice)

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh don't make me cry
I am disappointed
