Ekombi; Erik's Pride
Ekombi; a dance of my motherland.
A dance that soothes the soul.
Ekombi; Efik's pride
A dance of tranquility and beauty.
The attractive smiles on their faces
Like a sudden beam of sunlight, illuminates the earth.
The slow movement of their backs with ekara itong
Is like water lilies floating down a rill.
The rhythmic movement of their shoulders to ekomo iba
Is like the rise and fall of an ocean wave.
Their waist adorned with nkwa isin
Can make a hu-MAN drool for a fling.
The slow movement of their backs with ekara itong
Is like water lilies floating down a rill.
The rhythmic movement of their shoulders to ekomo iba
Is like the rise and fall of an ocean wave.
Their waist adorned with nkwa isin
Can make a hu-MAN drool for a fling.
Their bodies, as soft and tender as honey-dew
Transcends this realm, with Anansa's spell.
Ekombi; a dance of my motherland
A dance, that soothes the soul.
