Your mama used to worry about that big muddy river
Mama kamu dulu khawatir tentang sungai besar yang keruh itu
Honey do your remember?
Sayang, kamu ingat?
You let the screen door slam when you stepped off the front porch
Kamu membanting pintu layar saat melangkah dari teras depan
Then your mama calling don't be late
Lalu mama kamu memanggil, "jangan terlambat"
And I'd hear your daddy holler "Son she's my only daughter"
Dan aku mendengar ayahmu berteriak, "Nak, dia satu-satunya putriku"
You'd stick your nose in the honeysuckle down by the gate
Kamu mencium bunga melati di dekat gerbang
I could still hear your mama calling "don't go near the water"
Aku masih bisa mendengar mama kamu memanggil "jangan dekati air"

We fell right in
Kami terjun ke dalam
Went over our head
Sampai tenggelam
But we didn't go near the water
Tapi kami tidak dekati airnya
Nothing beats the young and sweet
Tak ada yang mengalahkan masa muda yang manis
And the nights got hotter and hotter
Dan malam-malam semakin panas
We were sure enough getting our feet wet mama
Kami pasti sudah basah kaki, mama
But we didn't go near the water
Tapi kami tidak dekati airnya

We'd hear the rocking chair squeaking
Kami mendengar kursi goyang berderik
As you sneaked up the back stairs
Saat kamu menyelinap naik tangga belakang
Mama waiting like a grizzly bear
Mama menunggu seperti beruang grizzly
Had to get the honeysuckle out of your hair
Harus mengeluarkan bunga melati dari rambutmu
But in the morning light
Tapi di bawah sinar pagi
You'd look her right in the eye
Kamu menatapnya tepat di matanya
It wasn't a lie
Itu bukan kebohongan
We didn't go near the water
Kami tidak dekati airnya

We fell right in
Kami terjun ke dalam
Went over our head
Sampai tenggelam
But we didn't go near the water
Tapi kami tidak dekati airnya
Nothing beats the young and sweet
Tak ada yang mengalahkan masa muda yang manis
And the nights got hotter and hotter
Dan malam-malam semakin panas
We were sure enough getting our feet wet mama
Kami pasti sudah basah kaki, mama
But we didn't go near the water
Tapi kami tidak dekati airnya

Your mama used to worry about that big muddy river
Mama kamu dulu khawatir tentang sungai besar yang keruh itu
She should've worried about me
Seharusnya dia khawatir tentang aku

'Cause we were sure enough getting our feet wet mama
Karena kami pasti sudah basah kaki, mama
But we didn't go near the water
Tapi kami tidak dekati airnya
Didn't go near the water
Tidak dekati airnya
Didn't go near the water yeah
Tidak dekati airnya, ya
