Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
'Cause I don't want to leave you lonely
You've got to make me change my mind

Baby I've got your number, and I know that you've got mine
You know that I called you, I called too many times
You can call me baby, you can call me anytime
You got to call me

Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
'Cause I don't want to leave you lonely
You've got to make me change my mind

I don't want no one to squeeze me, they might take away my life
I don't want no one to squeeze me, they might take away my life
I just want someone to hold me and rock me through the night

This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need
This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need
But I'm too old to go chasing you around
Wasting my precious energy

Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here
And I'll turn right back around
'Cause I don't want to leave you lonely
You've got to make me change my mind

Baby just give me one reason, Give me just one reason why
Baby just give me one reason, Give me just one reason why I should stay
'Cause I told you that I loved you
And there ain't no more to say

Tìng 'awa lunit ngal oeru
A lu swey txo 'ivì'awn
Oe fìtsenge mìyìn set
Ulte ngane tìyätxaw
Talun ngat ke new txivìng, slä
Zene nga oet meykivllte

Ranìri smon oer pum ngey, ulte ngar nìteng oey smon
Futa oel syolaw ngar nìhawng li ngal omum
Tsun syivaw nga oeru mi frakrr sì fralo
Nga zene syivaw

Tìng 'awa lunit ngal oeru
A lu swey txo 'ivì'awn
Oe fìtsenge mìyìn set
Ulte ngane tìyätxaw
Talun ngat ke new txivìng, slä

Oel ke new futa oeti, snew fkol nìsyep nìhawng
Talun kxawm tsatsun mivunge fko oeyä neto tìrey
Nì'aw new tuteot oel fte txonmì miveyam

Oey 'ewana txe'lanur tsun yawne nga livu
Sìkin a fngo ngal oer tsun tivìng nìftxavang ngar
Ngian ke fmayi fivewi ngat fratseng

Tìng 'awa lunit ngal oeru
A lu swey txo 'ivì'awn
Oe fìtsenge mìyìn set

Tìng oeru lunit ma yawntu; Tìng oer lunit ngal rutxe
Tìng 'awa lunit ma yawntu; Lun a sweylu txo oe 'ivì'awn
Ngar poleng san oer lu yawne
Ulte oeri lu fra'u

Wou! I was just thinking about this song this morning, I woke up with it in my head
Great job on the translation, seems singable

[Blue Elf]

Very good! I love how you deal with words we do not have. And it is fantastic that this part of our forum gets very alive again!

[Tìtstewan]

Ma oeyä Eywa! Very good!
Fascinating your talent!

[Alyara Arati]

Irayo ulte tstunwi! 

[Kamean]

Wou, kosman!

[Alyara Arati]

Irayo nìmun.

I just wish I had a voice that could sing this well; Tracy's voice is a lot lower than mine.

Txe'lan a'ewan oey tsun livu tìyawn fpi nga

Okay, I've been listening to this recently, and I realized that, although it fits the music, it says:
"My young heart can be love for you," which doesn't really make sense.

txe'lanur a'ewan tsun livu tìyawn fpi nga has the right number of syllables, but throws the accent off on A'eWAN...

oey 'ewana txe'lanur tsun yawne nga livu has both syllables and emphasis right; can I put yawne nga between tsun and livu?

I think I can, which makes the second one the correct solution, but I'm open to any better ideas...

[Blue Elf]

In poetry and song texts rules don't have to be followed strictly, as Paul said on some occasions, so I don't see anything wrong here.

[Alyara Arati]

Correction made.  Thanks again.

Looking forward hearing it. (Yes, I know. I know. I write this all over this place. I just don't want to projects like this die. And also I'm keen on good music. )
