(Naku penda piya-naku taka piya-mpenziwe)
(I love you too-I want you too-my love)
Liberian girl...
You came and you changed my world
A love so brand new
Liberian girl...
You came and you changed my world
A feeling so true
Liberian girl
You know that you came
And you changed my world
Just like in the movies
With two lovers in a scene
And she says...
"Do you love me"
And he says so endlessly...

Your love so complete
Liberian girl...
You kiss me then,
Ooh, the world
You do this to me
Liberian girl...
You know that you came
And you changed my world
Just like in the movies
With two lovers in a scene
And she says
"Do you love me"
And he says so endlessly
"I love you, Liberian girl"
