Oh Naia

Oh Naia
How can I make it up to you?
For I've gone to Lisbon
But I brought you nothing
 
I bought a TV set
with VHS and DVD player
A computer for my son
And a doll for my younger daughter
My grandmother asked for this
My father asked for that
How was I supposed to pay for all?
It's hard when we have no money
 
At the immigration: "Ma'am, your luggage is too heavy
You have to pay for the excess"
Now, where is the money to do so?
So I started speaking creole
pretending I wasn't understanding him
Then he goes: "Ma'am, please hurry,
I ain't got all day"
 
Oh Naia
How can I make it up to you?
For I've gone to Lisbon
But I brought you nothing
