Don’t be ashamed to tell her
To die for love of her
And from a kiss from above
Yalla, yalla, yalla
Don’t be ashamed to tell her
To die for love of her
And from a kiss from above
Who wants the proverb
And to live on a crust of bread?
Who wants the proverb
To be or not to be?
Who asks all the “who”
If he is well off easily?
Who asks all the “who”
If he owes a debt at the shop?
To work like a donkey
In the market and the office,
And just to live a little
To stretch out the hand as well.
Work is work,
For you and also for me;
What comes as a gift
Only makes a hole in the bucket.
Yalla, yalla, yalla
Don’t be ashamed to tell her
To die for love of her
And from a kiss from above
Yalla, yalla, yalla
Don’t be ashamed to tell her
To die for love of her
And from a kiss from above
Who found rest
And still remained lost,
And himself from too much joy
Hung upon the pole?
Who found rest
And still remained lost,
And himself from too much joy
Hung upon the pole?
Work is work,
To be or not to be;
Work is work,
Just give a reason to live.
Work is work,
To be or not to be;
Work is work,
Just give a reason to live.

Don’t be ashamed to tell her
