Song text in English:
All bring the yellow skirt of female parrot
And give it to the Male in-law to wear it
In-law is tall and the skirt is short
All bring the yellow skirt of female parrot
Nose ring is worn by in-law in the runny nose,
Eyes full of collyrium and boogers
All bring the yellow skirt of female parrot
Bald head and open back
In –law spoiled the skirt after wearing it
All bring the yellow skirt of female parrot.
