As you come to the light
As you don't want to stay
As you see the door open
As you come in, you come in, hey

Don't try to know your story
Or who you are
I'll tell you it's not much
But come eat a bite

And then, just as you are

Sing a battered maloya
It happens to everyone
It was your wings
Sing a battered maloya
Where did it come from
Bring it to our door
Sing a battered maloya
It took you far
Where you were without you well
Sing a battered maloya
It was your time
As it comes, as it goes (two woods)

As you finished eating
As you're looking to go
As you leave the house
As the night falls, hey

I asked you why you don't sleep here
You're too tired
You fell into my arms
Your tears flowed

And then, just as you are

Sing a battered maloya
It happens to everyone
It was your wings
Sing a battered maloya
Where did it come from
Bring it to our door
Sing a battered maloya
It took you far
Where you were without you well
Sing a battered maloya
It was your time
As it comes, as it goes (give it)

As the morning comes
As you were fine
As we say goodbye
As we went together

Oh, as we went together...

Sing a battered maloya
It happens to everyone
It was your wings
Sing a battered maloya
Where did it come from
Bring it to our door
Sing a battered maloya
It took you far
Where you were without you well
Sing a battered maloya
It was your time
As it comes, as it goes
As it comes, as it goes
It goes
It goes far
As it comes, as it goes
It goes, it goes, it goes far...
