Lyrics

Chorus

Leggo me na raja, leggo me leh me go

Let me go, king — let me go, let me leave

Me na want me husband and family to know

I don't want my husband and family to know

Verse 1

You fall from ah tree boy, you fall from above

You fall from a tree, boy — you fall from above

Try and fall in anything but don't fall in love

Try and fall into anything, but don't fall in love

Chorus

Leggo me na raja, leggo me leh me go

Let me go, king — let me go, let me leave

Me na want me husband and family to know

I don't want my husband and family to know

Verse 2

Roses are red my love and violets are blue

Roses are red my love and violets are blue

Sugar is sweet my love but not sweeter than you

Sugar is sweet my love but not sweeter than you

Chorus

Leggo me na raja, leggo me leh me go

Let me go, king — let me go, let me leave

Me na want me husband and family to know

I don't want my husband and family to know

Verse 3

Love is ah thing boy no one should complain

Love is a thing, boy — no one should complain

It same go fuh others, it same go fuh me

It goes the same for others, it goes the same for me
