My Rose
Young Girl My Rose, my pride, I won't let you touch it Chief, keep your money, My future I'll still choose Over you bloody pesos. Village Elder Child, you know nothing, I'm not desperate That you should know, I only wanted...to spend, To touch you with money, To appreciate your beauty Money is sweet darling, I assure you of regret. Young Girl Chief, I will regret nothing, I am truly very decided You even call me child And yet ask for so much Get you hands off me! They make me feel dirty, Forgive me for being rude But I think you're not okay. Village Elder Ha ha ha Your insults pamper me I already feel like spending, Would you like some cash? Or should I take you out 'Mamaa' don't you frown I really mean no harm Is it wrong for me to confess... Young Girl Please leave my way! I have no time to waste, My bright future awaits, I have no energy for you, If you are really that good Go and 'spoil' your wife! Village Elder Gone are my wife's days, She's too old to mind my awe, In search my eyes have been, For a queen as fresh as you, Let not my sadness extend, Release me from this jail, My offer is good you know, Your life will change for good. Young Girl STOP! Let me go! Can't you see my age?
