Arewa mi
My heart, my confidence
For you made me never depressed
I'll cherish you all your years
...
Olá pessoas
Wassap peepo
Why the long face?
Why the incessant tears?
...
We can't watch
Our brothers die in pain
I can't see
Our sisters raped again
...
Priceless beauty,
Pure beauty,
Intelligent and always does her duty.
Oh! How i wish she was sleeping beauty,
...
Eighteen years I've lived
And unto my family I've cleaved.
Without any regrets
Other than my regrets.
...
The song we use to sing;
On 1st October 1960
Nigeria became Independent.
The anthem we recite;
...
Chatter and cheers
Table and chairs
Sitting to the pleasure
Of blessings we can't measure
...
I wonder what you see
Calling me different,
Because I come from
A land of oil?
...
In a world full of sweetness
And assurance of lasting freshness,
In a world of love
Uncomparable in all the world
...
