Wenu Wenu (Where is she?) English translation lyrics:
Where is she? Where is she?
The one who I loved where is she?
Where is she? Where is she?
The one who I loved where is she?
And with her delicate mouth
Who kills with her beautiful eyes
And with her delicate mouth
Who kills with her beautiful eyes
Tell me how are you my love?
You, the one with a beautiful good heart
Tell me how are you my love?
You, the one with a beautiful good heart
You didn’t want me to suffer, you, my precious beloved
You didn’t want me to suffer, you, my precious beloved
Where is she? Where is she?
The one who I loved where is she?
Where is she? Where is she?
The one who I loved where is she?
How are you doing my treasure? You’re always on my mind
How are you doing my treasure? You’re always on my mind
Though you’re torturing me I can never forget you
Though you’re torturing me I can never forget you
Where is she? Where is she?
Who kills with her beautiful eyes
And with her delicate mouth
Who kills with her beautiful eyes
Where is she? Where is she?
Who kills with her beautiful eyes
Where is she? Where is she?
Who kills with her beautiful eyes
And with her delicate mouth
Who kills with her beautiful eyes
