Namus [English translation]

I searched for you for years, everywhere

You never appeared to me, Decency

Eventually, I found purpose, but

You were ashamed to look me in the face, Decency

Come close to me I said, where are you?

You said don't bother, your voice can't be heard

Everyone's efforts were for naught

You didn't accept anyone, Decency

This merit you speak of is a fairy tale

Who decides who's decent?

The rich, poor, folks, or kings?

I see that you didn't go to any of them, Decency

C'mon, c'mon sideways (refers to swinging hips)

C'mon, sideways

I didn't ask for a palace or even a house

I only wanted you to love those that love you

I searched for a spark, I wanted a flame

You didn't even light a candle for me, Decency

When a saint in my eyes, from bread, from water

I'm tired of saying behave, stop

For being indecent for hundreds of years

You just couldn't behave and look my way, Decency
