On a cold and somber day
I hear calls but not my name
I have lost myself in words
I can't even find my way
It's all so dark
All my friends are singing my part

Tengo lengo tengo lengo tengo lengo tengo
Tengo lengo tengo lengo tengo lengo tengo
Wait, my boy!

What a sudden way to be
Out of reach, lost and free
All my reason caught off guard
I enjoy my sad misery
There's only crying
With my own heart I have to try

Tengo lengo tengo lengo tengo lengo tengo
Tengo lengo tengo lengo tengo lengo tengo
Wait, my boy!

So I see this pale man
And I pray to you again
As your son I beg for mercy
I just miss my sweet hinterland
I feel tired
But my legs trail their own path

Tengo lengo tengo lengo tengo lengo tengo
Tengo lengo tengo lengo tengo lengo tengo
Wait, my boy!
Where are you going, my boy?
