A n gbe iyawo lo, oun ke!
A n gbe iyawo lo, oun ke!
A child, grew to be a
girl,
Carefully nurtured to
be a Maiden,
A process of shaping
and reshaping,
To make you the
finest of all, in character and beauty,
From the right way to
greet elders,
Then house
chores to be homemaker,
A ngbe iyawo lo, oun ke!
A ngbe iyawo lo, oun ke!
Then came the season
of suitors,
From Ajala, to Ajasa,
From Ajala, to Ajasa,
From Alabi to
Talabi,
With Alarina
carefully outselling each other,
'My
man is the best of them all,’ as they say,
Then you made your
choice,
The big choice,
Investigation
commence, 'to be or not to be'?
To be!
To marry or not to?
A ngbe iyawo lo, oun ke!
A ngbe iyawo lo, oun ke!
To pay the dowry ,to
pay the token of love,
From Yam to Iyun,
From Aso oke to Buba
and iro,
From Ankara to Swiss
lace,
From Honey to Aadun,
Ile
oko ya!
A ngbe iyawo lo, oun ke!
A ngbe iyawo lo, oun ke!
