English lyrics and translation:

There’s a girl in our yard
That plays piano,
She notices me coming towards her and changes the route.
As I walk beside her,
She gets offended and leaves me,
Well, in a word, I love her and it doesn’t even come across her mind.

What should I do to make her greet me
And know that I love her?!
Mama, give me a piece of advice.
What should I do to make her greet me
And know that I love her?!
Mama, give me a piece of advice,
Mama, give me a piece of advice, mama.

Hey! Listen, please, to this song
That I wrote for you to know
That there are so many games in the world, but you never play with me.
I just hate the music
That you play from the dawn till the sunset.
It endlessly hurts.

What should I do to make her greet me
And know that I love her?!
Mama, give me a piece of advice.
What should I do to make her greet me
And know that I love her?!
Mama, give me a piece of advice,
Mama, give me a piece of advice, mama.
