Ya Bi Na Ya...
Tell me why
tell me why
ya bi na
Tell me why
tell me why
You run?
My mother always told me
ya bin ti
don't forget
Min fain in-ti
Remember who you are
Listen to the voice
that plays in your head
make the right choice
Tell me why
tell me why
Ya bi na
Tell me why
tell me why
you run?
My mother says my mother says
Ya ba ye yaba ye
My mother says my mother says
Ya ba ya ba ye
had to see it my way
'cos life is very short
the more I seem to learn
the less I seem to know, oh
Oh- I cry in bed
ye, I miss my home
the home I can't forget
I hear my mother's voice
Tell me why
tell me why
Ya bi na ya
Tell me why
tell me why
You cry?
My mother says my mother says
Ya ba ye ya ba ye
My mother says my mother says
Ya ba ya ba ye
(repeat)
Don't run away
Ya ba ya ba ye
(repeat chorus)
