Maami,
Akanji dropped by today
On his way to the farm
To tell me that he loves me
Maami, I am very scared
For you have told me to be careful
Because a union with a male is for life
Maami
Akanji saw me today by the stream
When I was filling my pot
With Ojuolape and Ajike
He sang songs of Solomon to my ears
And I listened pleasantly
Maami, I am scared
For you have told me to be careful
Because a union with a male is for life
Maami
Can you help me to convince Baami?
That I don't want to marry Odejimi
Even though he brings us meat everyday
Maami,
It seems as if I am falling
Falling in love with Akanji.
Maami
I asked him today
If he will love me forever
And he said it is till death do us part
I asked him if he will accept my past
And he said my tales are for him to bear
Maami, should I forge ahead?
Maami
I don't want anyone but Akanji
Maami, please teach me
How to please my husband
When I get married.
Maami,
Thank you for your love and care
Today is a day of joy
The day I will finally get to live with Akanji
To prepare for a new life with him
Our new family
Maami
I am scared
I didn't tell Akanji before
And he will find out tonight
The evil deeds of Ajao
Maami, what is going to happen now?
When the whole world
Is expecting that white kerchief?
*sighs*
Maami, I have to go now
The groom is waiting.
