Love Declaration
I was crazy about a neighbor
and talking to her alone I could never
because always her father, mother or aunt
were always around her.
And already in a trance of talking in the family,
I couldn't keep my passion silent;
using a simple code
I declared my love to her in this way.
Sepe-ñopo-ripi-tapa,
mepe palpa-pipi-tapa
elpe copo-rapa-zón.
Sipi mepe quiepe-repe
dipi-gapa-mepe sipi
sinpi dipi-lapa-ción.
Nopo mepe depe-jepe
sinpi capa-ripi-ñopo
sepe lopo ruepe-gopo
Nopo mepe niepe-guepe
upu-napa cipi-tapa
sopo-lipi-tos, los dos.
In this way, things kept going
and for better or worse, I expressed my passion to her.
And even if there was anyone in front of us,
we understood each other very easily.
And finally, as I didn't leave her indifferent
and she also practiced the code,
soon I heard her smiling
replying to me without hesitation:
Quepe-ripi-dipi-topo
cuipi-dapa-dipi-topo
compo mipi papa-pá
Espe-tepe lupu-nespe
apa laspa cipi-ncopo
elpe nopo espe-tá
Enpe lapa puerpe-tapa
tepe espe-pepe-ropo
conpo capa-ripi-ñopo
Nopo mepe pipi-daspa
opo-tropo bepe-sopo
quepe nopo te lo doy.
