Joana [English translation]

My stomach aches

My hair stands on end

And I don’t think

It’s good news

​Joana’s always been right on time

But now it’s halfway through the month

I don’t know what to say

Nothing’s happening

​

Oh, Joana

what’s up with you this month?

There’s no sign

I can’t get it off my mind

I’m so worried about you

​

My daughter, your body was pure

You were clever and strong

What’s happened to you?

I’m worried sick

​It’s like a flood

Sweeping everything away

Palu tells me he reckons

Some boy’s responsible

​

Oh, Joana,

what’s up with you this month?

There’s no sign

I can’t get it off my mind

I’m so worried about you
