Amoke Mi

AMOKE MI Amoke omo Iya Eleko, When Maami re return at dusk, From the rustic hustle of life Tell her, tell her, I say tell her, Tell her you have stolen it, That golden Agbada your father, Inherited from his father's lineage And gave it to Prince Adeniyi your love. Ayaba the King's pride, I am the royal labalaba Destined to lay on your virgin Ododo It's the food for the king. Amoke mi owon, Don't forget to meet me under the great Iroko oluwere's tree Don't forget to come with the lighted Atupa, There where we shall cuddle endlessly, There where we shall kiss passionately, There where we shall romance soul and mind. When I am made the king, And ascend the throne of my fore fathers You shall be there by my right, Bearing my royal name Olori Oba Adedamola Adeniyi Let the blood of royalty speaks in you. Ololufe mi, eni bi okan mi, Anywhere Igbin goes, It's always with it's Ikaraun Mo se ileri pe N oni ja o kule Iwo ni o je Iya fun awon omo mi N o si nife re titi lai lai. ©Adedamola Quadri Adeniyi All Right Reserved 2017.
