Shakara (Oloje)

To ba b'oni sakara pade

Pasan to ma fi na e oje l'o nje

Kini won se npe o

Shakara oloje ni

[Chorus]

Shakara oloje ni

Shakara oloje ni o...

We get the shakara man

We get the shakara woman

Shakara man, him go say,

"I go beat you, I go nearly kill you"

Na shakara

"I go beat you, go beat am and get accident"

Na shakara

"You no know me"

Na shakara

"Wait make I commot my dress"

Na shakara

You see, even if you do nothing

Na shakara oloje

We get a song for that

We go sing am like this, we go sing:

Ah, ah

Ah ni, ah ni, ah ni...

Ma kan na e

Iwo ke, oti mo mi ni

To ba to ko duro de mi o

Duro de mi ki'nbo so mi

Wa je baba nla iya iro ni o ko le ja

Oje lo nyo, kini won se npe o

[Chorus]
