LOVE IN ANY LANGUAGE

Sisi odi-enye m
Instead oge obuna
O nodu neépoosu

especially mgbe o ma
na obi di m mma

n'ebe o no

Agwago m ny several times
nya jee choo olu
ma nti ya anuro nke afu

Rather, everyday
O pua, o kwughalia
O na-acho
Easy job!

..aah,

Hm! Nkemjika!! (sigh)
Ma love m nwelu n'ebe o no
di too much!!
