My Dragobetess, Olayinka

O, Darling, my Dragobetess Endless kindness, love of Her Holiness Born are you this day As today birds are betrothed I know why Dragobete was her best His love and kindness, Holy Mary in joy 24th of 3rd Month mine was born But why was love entwined to Valentine? When 14th of 3rd Month our love entwined What is the secret of month of March? As Angels in bow this day Could Mary have been born today? When in songs and praise you came As Cupid in race of mate to grace 24th of March to praise His reign In truth today with love I come To praise the day my love was born After all, La belle plume fait le bel oiseau Come ‘Layinka, let’s pluck honeysuckle Vernal flowers pure as dew And celebrate today with Japan Rose Oui, La belle plume fait le bel oiseau Yes, fine feathers make fine birds Happy birthday, my Second Soul
