Aduke Onidiri

I love it when you laugh and smile, 
   At the same time, in my
         delight I get sad. 
Because I wish I could be the only 
man while other men are animals 
  Àdùk?´, you're  so beautiful
        with those marks. 
Don't be bothered about the city girls, 
you got tribal marks not devil marks. 

When you laugh I see a rihanna, 
When you now decide to keep it
   low I see a Michele Obama. 
Àdùk?´ Onídìrí, follow me to the city, 
I'll open a fashion hub for you
     at the riverside of lekki. 
  ?ni bíi ?kàn mi, please help
       patch my broken ribs. 

         Àdùk?´  èmi ?w?n
 When we've a daughter, we'll
 name her Ar?`wà èkó (Lagos)
  With your hands on her hair,  
beautifulness will be a course
          in the university.  
            Àdùk?´, dùk?´, 
Shake those beads on your waist
   for me and let's dance to Àpàlà 
         like sány?`rì ?`k?là.
