We have not painted faces
We will not remain patient
When you come we'll all be waiting
Our sons they'll help us save them
Daughters hiding remain nameless
We will not paint their faces
It gets so dark I want to know what they look like
I'm ready to feel sunlight
From all the days spent inside
All our daughters abandoned us, Dodola
Can you take something else instead, Perpurna
All the gold we have offered you means nothing
Burn down the forests and cut the fields for safety
Don't come back here to bother us, Dodola
We'll find another way back to lush green gardens
When you eventually come for them, our daughters
Won't be so easily taken from tight hands holding
All our daughters abandoned us, why can't you take
Our sons instead our gold, did it mean nothing?
It gets so dark I want to know what they look like
I'm ready to feel sunlight
From all the days spent inside
It gets so cold I forgot what warmth felt like
I'm ready to feel sunlight
From all the days spent inside
