Mama, don't you call him my name, he can't hear you anymore.
Mama, jangan panggil dia namaku, dia tidak bisa mendengarmu lagi.

Bahkan jika dia tampaknya sama dengan Anda, itu orang asing di depan pintu Anda.
Go on, ask him what's he come here for.
Ayo, tanyakan padanya apa dia kemari?

I used to think he was a friend of mine.
Dulu aku mengira dia temanku.
Oh, La la la la la la la la, oh, la la la la la la la la. La la la, la la la, la la la la.
Oh, La la la la la la la la, oh, la la la la la la la la. La la la la la la la la la la la.
