Ya Ba Ye

YA BI NA YA!...

Tell me why

Tell me why

You run?

My mother's always told me

YA BINTI

Don't forget

MIN FAIN IN-TI

Remember who you are

Listen to the voice

That plays in your head

Make the right choice

Tell me why

Tell me why

YA BI NA YA

Tell me why

Tell me why

You run?

My mother says, my mother says

YA BA YE, YA BA YE

Tell me why

Tell me why

You run?

I had to see it my way

'Cause life is very short

The more I try to learn

The less I seem to know

Oh - I cry in my bed

Ye... I miss my home

The home I can't forget

I hear my mother's voice

Tell me why

Tell me why

YA BI NA YA

Tell me why

Tell me why

You cry?

My mother says, my mother says

YA BA YE, YA BA YE

Don't run away

YA BA YE, YA BA YE

Tell me why

Tell me why

YA BI NA YA

Tell me why

Tell me why

You run?

My mother says, my mother says

YA BA YE, YA BA YE

Tell me why

Tell me why

YA BI NA YA

Don't run away

YA BA YE, YA BA YE

Tell me why

Tell me why

You cry?

Don't run away

YA BA YE, YA BA YE

Don't run away

Tell me why

Tell me why

You run?
