Give Me a Hand

They say unlike poles do attract,
My magnetism towards you cant crack,
Its said differences make marriage sweet,
I say my love towards you is real,
     en am down in love deep,
       what do you think?

We are both at odds and ends,
Worlds apart ka east and west,
You from Highlands, mountain side,
Me from lowlands, lake side.

In a life's race,
    You can plough and rear real big bulls,
   I can boat and fish in wide deep pools,
We cant really compete on the same line,
But we can join hands and make one life,
It takes a traditional man and a woman
   to make a family,
It costs a child and a stranger
   to brake the rule of ancestry.

Give me a chance and I'll take you by the rive,r
Where the waters splash en' splosh in joy,
Dive in and swim to the flow of the lake together,
While the birds hum their song dawn till day,
We'll visit the mountains if you want,
En' sing together the tune of Karomaindo choir.
