Love Triangle

Here she is The sunlight that stands on the hut of every man Here she is The mirror of Ojoto Beads Oh! beads are made in her name But she's a heart that flirt with bags of fortune Here is Edufa A burning flame in the eyes of Maduka and Chike Edufa The heart of Chike is no China in the sun You came to make treasures out of it But now carry tenderness in your womb. Last night You came out of Maduka's hut Looking coy and gracious Flapping your hair in front of him and laughing at his cares Charming goddess of daylight Sharing your wrapper with Maduka and Chike Is precarious Chike is a war dagger He will hit at your chest Maduka is a hard sword Waving in the wind He will drink your blood And these two strong hearts are sweet brothers in the battlefield Now the war drum is beating Edufa it is beating The same night you slept on Maduka's lap for his golden cup Chike was searching for you with the lantern of love But how come The lamp of hope took him to Maduka's hut for a common laughter How come These two strong hearts Deceived their sword to kill love Just because of a sunflower. An African thunderstorm Went against trees as a mockingbird fleed in tears And i smelt blood I smelt blood everywhere The blood of Chike Maduka and Edufa Flowing in the green pasture of love I saw blood littered on different leafs I washed my tears with the water of Ojoto Hoping that in the glimpse of time This cloud will pass by. Here she stands On my painted wall Here is Edufa The golden sunset of Ojoto
