COMING BACK
*Ori rere bi ti irere
(Soft luck like the being of luck - irere)
So much ecstasy
Despite being so mazy
So we have enjoyed
So much ecstatsy
In this world so vague
If we saw today
We'd have made better hay
What is lasting for how long?
*Bi ileke ba ja kii pe mo
(When a bead line cuts, it ain't usually found complete again)
Back to where we came from
The beatiful houses en route
Became slums
In comparison
The definition of the disparity
Is the echo of mixed voices
The sound of joy and pain
Those sweet days and what we can't do today
*Yoruba expresssion
