LIRIK LAGU SUMBA TIMUR 2

Muka tambal kau patingi nyai rambu
Nata lia lai ngoru ludu ngu
Eha na eriggou  mau pikiru pahamukinya
Kata lupa kata lanyapu
Ndaku ngiara lai mbuti mbohu no hana eringou
Kaku mbuti nya, lai-ngiapa mba wamu
Eha na eri nou mau pikiro pahamukinya
Kata lupa kata lanyapu
Mbaku nga nya lainapa ngangu
Eha na eri gou kana papai ta ndou
Lai kapu da langu
Eha na eri gou mau pikiru pahamukinya
Kata lupa kata lanyapu
Mbaku unnu nyana wai ndua naa
Eha na Erigou kanapur lai waka lang ngu
Eha na erigou mau pikiru pahamukinya

Now listen, my love
To the words of my song
Oh, my love, think about them well
So that we can disappear
I am not a monkey thief my love
In order that our love can be true
Think of these words well
So that we can disappear
I am eating a meal
It feels like bile
From the bottom of my heart
Think of those words
So that we can disappear
I am drinking water
That tastes so bitter
Oh think of these words
So that we can disappear
