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
