Nunka Bai

Lyrics & Translations

Nunka bai - (Never go)
Never say goodbye
I hate it when you go
I like it better when you lie
I know you can’t stay 
But it’s better when you try
Cause this ain’t the way I wanna see your back side
Fla-n nunka bai - (Tell me never go)
I’ll never say goodbye
Even when I go
No woman no cry
Can’t rewind but I can make a little time
When you settle in you’re never out of sight out of mind

Bem, pertu por favor - (come, close please)
Nu ten, tenpu dentu - (we have time inside)
Li sen, um kuza entri - (here without, anything between)
Beij-m, nu ta toka, abo bu - (kiss me, we touch, you) 
Ta xinti, motiv bo ka viagem - (feel, reasons you won't leave)
Fika manha pa onti - (stay tomorrow from yesterday)
Activ sima nos é jovem - (active like we are young people)
Ma diferenti pa es jogam - (but different than they play)

I ain’t too proud to beg
I talk to your legs
Please don’t leave the bed
Any text that you seen you can leave on read
Call your job tell them you gone work me instead
I called mine on time, no lie, I said
She keep me well fed I don’t need the bread
I told them don’t push me close to the edge
I’m laid up with draws and I need my meds
I’m saying please don’t go
Knees on the floor
Squeeing your body got me clinging to you
Pleading that thing got me feening for you
You was slept on now you my dream come true

I’m saying please don’t go
Knees on the floor
Squeeing your body got me clinging to you
Pleading that thing got me feening for you
You was slept on now you my dream come true

Nunka bai - (Never go)
Never say goodbye
I hate it when you go
I like it better when you lie
I know you can’t stay 
But it’s better when you try
Cause this ain’t the way I wanna see your back side
Fla-n nunka bai - (tell me never go)
I’ll never say goodbye
Even when I go
No woman, no cry
Can’t rewind but I can make a little time
When you settle in you’re never put of sight, out of mind

N txiga kaza, xperda n ta fika - (I arrive home, hoping I will stay)
Fazi planos pa brinka - (make plans to play)
Pa baxu mi ba pa riba - (from bottom I go to the top)
nu ta mexe ma ka pasia - (we move but we won't go)
Língua di amo, papia - (language of love, speak)
Intendi xintidu kria - (understand wanted feelings)
Y kompartilia aria - (and sharing air)
Li ku bu para nha vida - (here with you for my life)

I told her imma stay for good
Turn this house to a home you just need some wood
I think she misunderstood
But I just went along with it when said let’s do it
I had to turn off the tube but we played some music
Lit a candle on the mantle it was therapeutic
Then she made me an offer that I can’t refuse and
I was in my right mind but she made me lose it

I’m saying please don’t go
Knees on the floor
Squeeing your body got me clinging to you
Pleading that thing got me feening for you
You was slept on now you my dream come true
I’m saying please don’t go
Knees on the floor
Squeeing your body got me clinging to you
Pleading that thing got me feening for you
You was slept on now you my dream come true

Nunka bai - (Never go)
Never say goodbye
I hate it when you go
I like it better when you lie
I know you can’t stay 
But it’s better when you try
Cause this ain’t the way I wanna see your back side
Fla-n nunka bai - (tell me never go)
I’ll never say goodbye
Even when I go
No woman, no cry
Can’t rewind but I can make a little time
When you settle in you’re never put of sight, out of mind

Nunka bai - (Never go)
Never say goodbye
I hate it when you go
I like it better when you lie
I know you can’t stay
But it’s better when you try
Cause this ain’t the way I wanna see your back side
Fla-n nunka bai - (tell me never go)
I’ll never say goodbye
Even when I go
No woman, no cry
Can’t rewind but I can make a little time
When you settle in you’re never put of sight, out of mind
