[1]
I came to your door last night
But you weren't there;
Tell me the truth, where had you gone?

Remember you promised me
Not to walk out on me
Not to bring excuses here and there;
Tell me the truth, where had you gone?

[2]
Swear to the lord
I was at the praying temple
To light the candle
I had vowed for you;

[1]
Do not lie to my face,
Do not lie to me;
For the sake of the lord,
Do not deceive me!

They say behind your back
- men and women -
They have seen you
On the river's side
Accompanied by my love rival;
Drowned in the heat of the moment
Talking and talking and talking...

They have seen you
On the river's side
Accompanied by my love rival...

[2]
They lie
They don't tell the truth;

Swear to the lord
I was at the praying temple
To light the candle
I had vowed for you;

[1]
Why did you leave?
Why did you leave me behind?
Were you seeing someone else?

Could you not stay with me?
Could you not put me
In the long painful waiting?
Could you not...

[1]
I came to your door last night
But you weren't there;
Tell me the truth, where had you gone?

Remember you promised me
Not to walk out on me
Not to bring excuses here and there;
Tell me the truth, where had you gone?

[2]
Swear to the lord
I was at the praying temple
To light the candle
I had vowed for you...
