Chili stung, salt a scorching blaze,
My love fled far, through foreign haze.
Chili stung, salt a scorching blaze,
My love fled far, through foreign haze.
To whom can I confess this pain,
How can I call my love again?
To whom can I confess this pain,
How can I call my love again?
The truth it is, no lie I feign,
The truth it is, no lie I feign.

Shoes with thorns, no oil to soothe, alas, no oil to soothe.
Shoes with thorns, no oil to soothe.
He bids me meet him, love alone, no oil to soothe.
I cannot bear this ache within, I can't speak words,
You heard the truth, no lie I feign,
The truth it is, no lie I feign.

My love now wears an English suit,
My love now wears an English suit,
And boots from Bata, a tailored loot.
And boots from Bata, a tailored loot.
To whom can I this tale impart,
How can I tame my lover's heart?
To whom can I this tale impart,
How can I tame my lover's heart?
The truth it is, no lie I feign,
The truth it is, no lie I feign.
Chili stung, salt a scorching blaze,
My love fled far, through foreign haze.
Chili stung, salt a scorching blaze,
My love fled far, through foreign haze.
