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
