Yanibo

Was a stranger on my way
When it started-rain
Pretty woman offered me
A place to rest
It was such a type of night
When danger loomed
She was my angel-true
Oh she was so beautiful
As she was kind
And a widow she was
And how I wondered
How life could be so cruel
So cruel but I know

Iyawo nbe nile
Omo nbe nile
I can never love you
Iyawo nbe nile
Omo nbe nile
Ife nbe nile
Yanibo
In the middle of the night
She crept up to my side- padipadi
In the night when it was dark
She touched me with her heart
But I didn’t like it
So I didn’t touch her
And she didn’t like it
Cus it felt so cruel
And she started to cry
Oh but I know
Yanibo Yanibo
Iyawo nbe nile
Omo nbe nile
I can never love you
Iyawo nbe nile
Omo nbe nile
Ife nbe nile
Yanibo
You look at me like I’m cruel
But I’m not an ordinary man
I fear the Lord
I have a wife and a son
I’m gonna do what’s right
Though it seems so hard
So hard baby

Iyawo nbe nile
Omo nbe nile
I can never love you
Iyawo nbe nile
Omo nbe nile
Ife nbe nile
Yanibo
Kai I say kai
Mi o se mio se ma ko bami
I could have loved you baby
But Iyawo nbe nile
Omo nbe nile
Ife nbe nile Yanibo
