| Hala Lala Laya and Hala Lala Laya You are as important as my eyes you little girl, oh my heart's fire, ignite, and roast some tenderness/warmth/kindness for her And the girl said to her mum, ma, you have been unfair to me First suitor, if he came, why won't you grant me "to him" ? Second suitor, if he comes, he should have the same religion as mine. Third suitor, if he comes, I will go to him alone Hala Lala Laya and Hala Lala Laya You are as important as my eyes you little girl, oh my heart's fire, ignite some tenderness, warmth, kindness From her to the monastery gate From here to the monastery gate, how was the secret between us revealed to others? And if there is no paper, I will write on birds' wings. And if there is no ink, with the tears from my eyes I will write. Hala Lala Laya and Hala Lala Laya You are as important as my eyes you little girl, oh my heart's fire, ignite some tenderness, warmth, kindness And the girl told her mum, ma I want a hundred people twenty locals, twenty foreigners, twenty to push the wood, twenty to get the water, and twenty to smash the eyeliner for my black eyes. Hala Lala Laya and Hala Lala Laya You are as important as my eyes you little girl, oh my heart's fire, ignite some tenderness, warmth, kindness This is from where they stared at me, this is from where they stared at me, The enemy passed by, and shot stared with the evil eye. If they sliced me up into pieces and soap bars, I will never drift away but remain with you even if I'm a hundred years old Hala Lala Laya and Hala Lala Laya You are as important as my eyes you little girl, oh my heart's fire, ignite some tenderness, warmth, kindness
