Translation
Wake up, wake up, father,
The drum is beating,
The drum is beating.
They're coming for my sister.
They're coming for my sister,
The most beautiful one,
The most beautiful one, father,
The smallest one.
Wake up, wake up, father,
The dowry is being taken out,
The dowry is being taken out,
The smallest one.
Wake up, wake up, father,
The drum is beating,
The drum is beating,
They're coming for my sister.
