Les Paroles :
Liberian Girl
Par : Michael Jackson
(Naku penda piya-naku taka piya-mpenziwe)
(I love you too-I want you too-my love)
Liberian girl . . .
You came and you changed my world
A love so brand new
Liberian girl . . .
You came and you changed me girl
A feeling so true
Liberian girl
You know that you came
And you changed my world,
Just like in the movies,
With two lovers in a scene
And she says . . .
« Do you love me »
And he says so endlessly… « I love you, Liberian girl »
(Naku penda piya-naku taka piya-mpenziwe)
(I love you too-I want you too-my love)
Liberian girl . . .
More precious than any pearl
Your love so complete
Liberian girl . . .
You kiss me then,
Ooh, the world
You do this to me
Liberian girl
You know that you came
And you changed my world,
Just like in the movies,
With two lovers in a scene
And she says,
« Do you love me »
And he says so endlessly « I love you, Liberian girl »
(Naku penda piya-naku taka piya-mpenziwe)
(I love you too-I want you too-my love)
Liberian girl
You know that you came
And you changed my world,
I wait for the day,
When you have to say « I do, »
And I’ll smile and say it too,
And forever we’ll be true
I love you, Liberian girl,
all the time
