Dodola - Ierta/Forgive Lyrics

Have I lost the sight to see through you
When I once saw through you with my eyes
Dodola, don't show them mercy from the banks of full flowers

They pray for us to leave them while looking up at skies
When we're gone the ground won't hold water
Sun swallows the oceans choking on tides
And daybreak won't bring them relief did they forget all the past times
Another way they'll be begging please help us all of our crops have died but

I've been right
To leave you all before the next time

But still I've been patient and waiting for young girls wearing flowers
You think flattery would deter me - this way I know who to take, please
Dodola, don't show them mercy / Fill our streams with your hands out
We tried to say that we're sorry please give us rising tides again but

I've been right
To leave you all before the next time
Tides wont rise
They wont forget whose name to call out

What will you do with our daughters their words are sharper than knives
Dear mistress don't show them mercy from the banks of full flowers

I'm taking them all far away from you to a gold field shining with light
Hands tightly held when they see the view
Dodola, our families lied and in
Return i'll grow flowers fix the grounds and rapidly raise the tides
You'll realize you forgot their names this has happened
Thousands of times before but still

I've been right to leave you all
I've been fine here on my own

Drape lilac over the gates whose daughter
Let me take her and she'll be safe
Marigold covered roofs whose daughter
Let me take her and she'll be safe
Lilies thread along the brook whose daughter
Let me take her and she'll be safe
