Ututu Umunwa, Love's Gentle Breeze

In the land of the rising sun, where the Igbo people thrive A love story unfolded, between Ekemma and Nnanyereugo alive A tale of passion, of hearts that beat as one Between two lovers, beneath the moon's silver throne Ekemma, a beauty to behold, with a heart so kind Nnanyereugo, strong and brave, with a love so true and aligned Their love was like a gentle breeze, that swept across the land Bringing joy and happiness, to their families and friends so grand The ubo drumbeat, echoed through the air As Nnanyereugo approached Ekemma, with a lover's gentle care He presented her with a gift, of a beautifully crafted necklace A symbol of his love, and a promise to forever cherish and caress The elders gathered, to witness their love so true As Ekemma and Nnanyereugo, exchanged their vows anew With a traditional wine, and a prayer so dear Their love was sealed, and their hearts did clear In the presence of their families, and friends so dear Ekemma and Nnanyereugo, did pledge their love this year With a bond so strong, and a love so true Their hearts belong to each other, forever anew Ututu Umunwa, love's gentle breeze so true Forever and always, our love will shine through In the Igbo tradition, our love will stand tall Ututu Umunwa, love's gentle breeze, forever for all.
