Lyrics
Banuwa, Banuwa, Banuwa yo
Banuwa, Banuwa, Banuwa yo
A la no, nehnio la no, nehnia la no
Banuwa, Banuwa, Banuwa yo
English translation
Don’t cry, Don’t Cry,
pretty little girl, don’t cry.
Your father off at the village
your mothers out for a while,
your brothers down by the river.
No need to sit and cry.
