My tea’s gone cold, I’m wondering why I
– Mi tè a bira friu, mi ta puntra mi mes dikon
Got out of bed at all
– E a lanta for di kama en absoluto
The morning rain clouds up my window (Window)
– E áwaseru di mainta ta nubla mi bentana
And I can’t see at all
– I mi no por mira en absoluto
And even if I could, it’d all be grey
– I asta si e por, tur kos lo ta gris
But your picture on my wall
– Pero bo potret riba mi muraya
It reminds me that it’s not so bad, it’s not so bad (Bad)
– E ta kòrda mi ku e no ta asina malu, e no ta asina malu
