Piso Surit Song Lyrics
Piso Surit… Piso Surit…
Stupidly confused.
Lalap I met the Athenian Race
Ija kel liturg amid gundari
I’m nimaisa turang weeping heartbreakingly
Entabeh nari turang my eyes are accursed
Siangna menda turang atena wari
Piso Surit… Piso Surit…
Stupidly confused.
Lalap I met the Athenian Race
Ija kel libabo gundari
Remang mekapal turang keri bergehna
Tekuak manuk turang ibabo thunderous
Enggo me selpat turang kite i let go
Piso Surit… Piso Surit…
Stupidly confused.

I don’t know if Dagena is recovering because
I miss Bage’s appearance,
I miss Ari’s appearance.
