Hey, between a wife and husband,
there must be understanding.
If you let go of your suspicions,
happiness will only grow.
I have every right over you,
so why hide anything?
Hey, between a wife and husband,
there must be understanding.
I have let go of my doubts,
wisdom came to me on its own.
You have everything desirable,
and I love enjoying it.
Yamma yamma
Yamma yamma
Hey yamma yamma
Hey yamma yamma
...
Wife, what is your duty?
Having fallen into
the folds of your waist,
do not make me get up and leave.
My husband, what is your duty?
In my bedroom
and in my kitchen,
do not leave room for complaints.
When everything goes well,
the woman of the house is your darling.
When things are a little off,
give me a little support.
If there is love in your embrace,
that is more than enough...
Yamma yamma
Yamma yamma
Amma amma
Amma amma
...
Your child—
isn't that me?
To give me a baby,
the child gifted to me—
who is it but you?
If I am
your child,
everything a child
would do in care,
let me do—do not stop me.
As time goes by,
between husband and wife,
words should become fewer.
Both our hearts
must understand each other,
that time must come.
Like a rainbow,
disagreements should appear
and quickly fade away.
Yamma yamma
