Tell me, oh tell me, how long will we remain unwed?
How long?
Oh, how long?
How long will we remain unwed?
Tell me, oh tell me, how long will we remain unwed?
By the river's edge, we sit and count the stars in the sky,
Tell me, oh tell me, how long will we remain unwed?
Tell me, oh tell me, how long will we remain unwed?

In the hope of someone,
How long will we depend on our mother?
