THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE VILLAGE
Here in our village, there's a small girl
only yesterday she wed, and already a widow
she sits alone when the night comes
she will spill the bitter in her heart to her mother
She wants to cry among the seawaves
What did you give me mother, what more did I want
just a drop of joy in the sea of tears
and you gave me a groom that fell in battle
I put the keys of freedom in his pockets
Look at me mother how difficult it is to cry
when the heart is full of silent stones
I shall not hear more laughter nor know joy
my youth ran away from me to the darkness
She wants to cry among the seawaves
A mute mask covers my face
I painted my eyelashes with tears
there's no better make-up for an innocent girl
whose joy was left in a war
She wants to cry among the seawaves
She sits alone when the night comes
She wants to cry among the seawaves
