Friend Request
My love left me
Just a few days ago
Listening to my songs
You understand my sighs
I was with her
Full of love and peace
Without thinking that day
The one I wanted the most
No longer wanted me
So sad I said goodbye
To her parents and siblings
As I said goodbye to her
She accompanied me to the gate
And for the last time, I held her hand
Then I left, and went away
Crying along the road
The sad separation
If you are listening to me at this hour
Listen well to what I say
For I want to make a request as a friend now
Help me find someone to marry
Anxiously here I wait
But it has to be as I want
Very similar to you
She should be dark-skinned
Black hair as well
And have bright eyes
Just like you do
Friendly and affectionate
Who loves me and cares for me
And be your height
Waist also the same
And have that gesture of yours
Very correct and natural
Intelligent, understanding
Etc, etc and so on
You may not understand
My sincere request
But I want you to understand
That I only worship you
In the world, there is no other
Woman like the one I want
I am aware, my dear
There is no one like you
That's why I despair
