Yanibo - Lyrics/Download - Kenny K'ore

Was a stranger on my way
When it started-rain
Pretty woman offered me a place to rest
It was such a type of night
When danger loomed

She was my angel-true
Oh she was so beautiful as she was kind
And a widow, she was
And how I wondered how life could be so cruel
So cruel
But I know

Yanibo
Yanibo
Iyawo nbe nile
Omo nbe nile
I can never love you
Iyawo nbe nile
Omo nbe nile
(Ife nbe nile, Yanibo)


In the middle of the night she crept up to my side- padipadi
In the night when it was dark
She touched me with her heart
But I didn't like it
So I didn't touch her
And she didn't like it
‘Cause it felt so cruel
And she started to cry
Oh but I know

Yanibo (don’t touch me)
Yanibo
Iyawo nbe nile
Omo nbe nile
(I can never love you)
Iyawo nbe nile
Omo nbe nile
(Ife nbe nile, Yanibo)

Yanibo
Yanibo
Iyawo nbe nile
Omo nbe nile
(I can never love you)
Iyawo nbe nile
Omo nbe nile
(Ife nbe nile, Yanibo)

You look at me like I'm cruel
But I'm not an ordinary man
I fear the Lord
I have a wife and a son
I'm gonna do what's right
Though it seems so hard
So hard baby

Yanibo
Yanibo
Iyawo nbe nile
Omo nbe nile
(I can never love you)
(N o se, N o se, ma koba mi)
Iyawo nbe nile
Omo nbe nile
Ife nbe nile
Yanibo
(Kai I say kai)
(Mi o se mio se ma ko bami)
I could have loved you baby
But Iyawo nbe nile
Omo nbe nile
Ife nbe nile Yanibo
Yanibo
Yanibo
Iyawo nbe nile
Omo nbe nile
I can never love you
Iyawo nbe nile
Omo nbe nile
(Ife nbe nile, Yanibo)

Kai!
I say “kai!”
