Chekeleke by Ifé


Chekeleke chekeleke chelu,
I see you flying by my window pane today,
Chekeleke chekeleke chelu,
Can you hear me calling out your name.

Nyem mbo ocha ka Iwelu oji Ina anu,
But don't change the way the good lord made me,
Nyem mbo ocha ka inwelu oji ina anu,
But Please make this little children's dreams come true.

Interlude.

Verse.

As I dey work I dey pray make Baba God bless me,
Plenty plenty things wey i dey do to survive,
I no go like make my little children suffer,
Hei, Na im be say water don pass garri,
My brother my sister,
Your destiny must shine,
Akaraka chukwu nyelu gi onye ga eficha n'uwa,
Do your best and live the rest for God o,
One day your life go better...

Chekeleke chekeleke chelu,
Can you tell your little brother I said Hi,
Chekeleke chekeleke oyim,
But remember the words i said before goodbye.

Nyem mbo ocha ka Iwelu oji Ina anu,
But don't change the way the good lord made me,
Nyem mbo ocha ka inwelu oji ina anu,
But Please make this little children's dreams come true.

Nyem mbo ocha ka Iwelu oji Ina anu,
But don't change the way the good lord made me,
Nyem mbo ocha ka inwelu oji ina anu,
But Please make this little children's dreams come true.

Nyem mbo ocha...

Nyem mbo ocha ka iwelu oji chekeleke.
Nyem mbo ocha ka iwelu oji ina anu,
Please make this little children's dreams come true.
