A guy came to my land
Taking all my gold with him
A so-and-so came to my land
Taking all my gold with him
Dressed in full white
And with a foreign accent
He promised in exchange for gold
To leave me a lot of money
The guy I'm talking about
Never showed up again
Took my precious metal
And took it all away
Thief you left
With my gold
And you left me
Without my gold
Thief you left
With my gold
And you left me
Without my gold
With only deceit and na'ma
You came all the way
To take my gold
First
With your foreign accent
And your shady look
You're a good girl
Get out of here daddy
Don't come back to steal my gold
Mr.
I'm leaving you
Go away with everything and mirror
Thief you left
With my gold
And you left me
Without my gold
Thief you left
With my gold
And you left me
Without my gold
All my gold
It's gone
The owners are employees
More poverty has come
Innocence is gone
And I'm not leaving here
I'm going
From this land I am
I am
My soul is like the rivers
Road traveled
Thief you left
With my gold
And you left me
Without my gold
Thief you left
With my gold
And you left me
Without my gold
Gold gold
You took my gold
Gold gold
You took my gold
Gold gold
You took my gold
Gold gold
You took my gold
Gold gold
You took my gold
Gold gold
You took my gold
Gold gold
You took my gold
Gold gold
You took my gold
There thief you went
With my gold
There you left me
Without my gold
There you went
With my gold
There you left me
Without my gold
And to barekiar
With my gold
Ni pa barekiar
Without my gold
There you went
With my gold
You left me
Without my gold gold gold gold
Gold gold gold gold gold
Gold gold gold
You took my gold
Gold gold gold
You took my gold
