Ya Bi Na Ya...

Tell me why

tell me why

ya bi na

Tell me why

tell me why

You run?



My mother always told me

ya bin ti

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

Tell me why

tell me why

you run?



My mother says my mother says

Ya ba ye yaba ye

My mother says my mother says

Ya ba ya ba ye



had to see it my way

'cos life is very short

the more I seem to learn

the less I seem to know, oh

Oh- I cry in 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

My mother says my mother says

Ya ba ya ba ye

(repeat)

Don't run away

Ya ba ya ba ye



(repeat chorus)
