Delmo, oh, charming lady,

I plead that you wait for me

Until I be of respectable standing
Until that right time of the month
My promise to fulfil

Delmo, oh, what a noble man

Why have you have visited me
In this far-flung abode?
Have you convinced my elders?
Have you talked to my kin?

Talda, oh, beautiful lady

When I lay down upon my matted bed
My head upon my pillow, tears flow
As sleeping is happiness
And waking up is pain and sorrow

Delma, never will I believe

In every fancy word you utter
In every florid talk you say

Delmeng, oh lady Salaming,

I simply desire to set eyes on you
And visit you on this high hill

Delmo, I deserve an explanation

From you, oh, esteemed gentleman
What is the reason that you have come?

Delmo, can you wait for a while

When I be of good social repute
Please wait, until the time of the month is right
To honor the promise devoted

At this moment
In this precise time
This man simply pays a visit
To the fine lady of the hill

But, I did not prepare

Nor did I groom myself
Your arrival is unannounced
Oh, young bachelor

Demedelmo
A fine bachelor has arrived
In this picturesque place
In this distant locale
Demedelmo
Love has blossomed
I pronounce with conviction
Never let it walk alone
Lest, it will sulk with sorrow

Delma, can you wait for a while

Please, wait, I fervently plea
Until the time of the month is ripe
Delmo, for you to get my initial approval,
Prepare all documents
Complete your diploma
