6. The Day You Pay Me
English translation

Ya pa mas ku nuebe luna, tin un kos ta molostiámi
Mi amigu bon, ainda bo n’ pagami
Miéntras tantu bo ta kana saka sèn i hunga grandi
E situashon no ta kos di hari, debe plaka no ta wega
Mesté buska un manera pa resolvé ku

Bo n’pagami bek - te ku dia djawe
Ba lagami plánbari - i ta mané bo n’ tin kunes

Ba pidimi komprenshon i ba rogami pa yudabu
Mi amigu bon, mi n’ por a ningabu
Ma splikabu ku kuidou ku p’ami tambe kos ta malu
Mi situashon serio ma kontabu
Kada hende tin su pena
Ma di abo ’n tin manera, pa komprondé ku

Bo n’pagami bek - te ku dia djawe
Ba lagami plánbari - i ta mané bo n’ tin kunes

Bo n’ pagami bek
Te ku dia djawe
Ba lagami plan bari
Asina mes ba keda bashí
I ma yudabu ye’i manera
Ba roga, ma yudabu un be
Ma ’na bu loke bo mesté
I awo’ki wak bo hunga grandi
Mal agradesí

Dia bo pagami
Mi tei kanta aleluya
Porfin mi por relahá
I kumpr’un outo, un kas
I un regalo, un tas
Mi tei kumpr’un DVD
Mi ta stòp di ta bashí
Mi ta anhelá e di’ey
Ma ba lagami plan bari i ta mané bo n’ tin kunes


For more than nine months now, something has been bothering me
My good friend, you still haven’t paid me back
In the mean time you walk around spending money and acting like a king
These are no laughing matters
Owing money is no game
We have to find a way to resolve this situation

You haven’t paid me back - ’till today
You left me broke - and it seems like you don’t care

You asked me for understanding and you begged me for help
My good friend, I could not say no to you
I explained to you with care, that my situation was not much better
That I was having financial difficulties too
Everyone has his troubles
But I still can’t understand that you

You haven’t paid me back - ’till today
You left me broke - and it seems like you don’t care

You did not pay me back
Till today
Oh you left me broke
He anyway you stayed broke
And I helped you in so many ways
You begged, I helped you immediately
I gave you, what you needed
And now you play grand
Ungrateful man

The day you pay me back
I’ll sing hallelujah
I can finally relax
And buy a car and a house
A gift and a bag
I will buy a DVD
I will quit being broke
I am pining for that day
But you left broke and it seems like you don’t care
