Why do I bother waking up in the morning
Why do I bother opening my eyes
Why do I bother waking up in the morning
Why do I bother opening my eyes
Why do I love that man so much
To the point where my friends are fed up with me
Why do I love that man so much
To the point where my friends are fed up with me
I am a mere woman, I am a mere woman
I am a mere woman
Oh mother, he's torturing me
I am a mere woman
Oh mother, he's in love with mе
He came to me onе day
Angry and miserable
He told me he's had enough and just left
He told me he's had enough and just left
I am a mere woman, I am a mere woman
I am a mere woman
Oh mother, he's torturing me
I am a mere woman
Oh mother, he's tormenting me
He doesn't sleep nor does he dream
All he does is drink Rum
He kisses me on the lips and he torments me all night long
He kisses me on the lips and he tortures me all night long
I am a mere woman, I am a mere woman
I am a mere woman
Oh mother, he's tormenting me
I am a mere woman
Oh mother, he's torturing me
He told me "oh sweetheart
I cannot live without you"
He drinks his sorrow away with me and he tortures me all night long
He drinks his sorrow away with me and he torments me all night long
I am a mere woman, I am a mere woman
I am a mere woman
Why does he keep torturing me?
I am a mere woman
Oh mother, he's tormenting me
I fell for his manly build
He's tall and charming
He comes from Tlemcen
Oh mother, he's torturing me
He comes from Tlemcen
Oh mother, he's tormenting me
While I was dancing and singing
He told me he loved me
He's from Oran
Oh mother, he's torturing me
He's from Oran
Oh mother, he's tormenting me
I am a mere woman, I am a mere woman
I am a mere woman
Oh mother, he's tormenting me
I am a mere woman
Oh mother, he's in love with me
