Text Translation | Gossip, gossip, evil thing Much unhappiness it bring If you can’t say something nice Don’t talk at all is my advice If you talk about somebody Even if what you say is true When it comes back it is double talk, To what it was when it left you. Refrain: Once I told me friend me secret And he promise not to tell Now community and strangers All know me secret very well. Refrain: Take me wife, now, there’s a gossip What an ear for news has she Knows a thing or two about everyone In our whole community Refrain: If there’s one thing ’bout a gossip Let me tell you this is true If you tell she ’bout somebody, She tell somebody else about you. |
