DUET ON ROMANTICISM ' MAMITO PAPAYA '

Mamito papaya. 

Mamito ! 

Your love kept the rumors in my grumbling stomach fore filled. 

Hear not the hussy-bussy of the market crowd 

because I,  your trader is whom you have business with. 

We can't run away from the glance of the biters 

but who cares if I end up being their headlines? 

Ipako o gbo shu ku ti,

let the elegan's head spill;

With you and I will be forever.

Mamito papaya,

behold me in your delicate bosom that oozes of honey,

I'll hold your hands and walk eyes closed to the future. 

Mamito ! 

Permit the birds to spread to the aftermath our splendour,

across the crags of Kish,

the trees are crackling, 

cockatoos are booing, 

amo, 

dare not listen, 

elebe mokanlelaadoje ko raye herehuru adugbo, 

we stand aloft. 

Platter me in a woollen basket, 

Mamito !

Walk upon my refrain,

run on my lines, 

follow behind the baobabs, 

shield me, 

shield us, 

from the lovers of Cain.
