Life is short and time is swift
The river is long and the boat’s adrift
Life is short and people get lost
You got to do what you can, you got to do what you must
I’m waiting
I’m waiting
I’m waiting
Jarabi ma nyi de!
I hide out in the shadows, biding my time
Dreaming of the glorious and divine
Fever is rising and it won’t abate
Ain’t no hiding from love, ain’t no flying from fate
I’m waiting
I’m waiting
I’m waiting
Jarabi ma nyi de!
Heeyi! Sorio! Kabako! (Hey! Listen up! An amazing affair!)
N be kanu barika d’aw ye (I respect you for the love you bring me)
N be jigi le barika d’aw ye (I respect you for being my hope)
Jigiyamògòw man ca
Layidumògòlu dògòyara (N be kanu barika da
N be jigi barika da iyee!
He that will not when he may,
When he will he shall have nay
Decisions made without care and faith
At the end of the day gonna come back ricocheting
I’m waiting
I’m waiting
I’m waiting
Jarabi ma nyi de!
Heeyi! Sorio! Kabako!
Bi ma dinye dan
N be kanu barika da
N be jigi le barika
Jigiyamògòw man ca
Layidumògòlu dògòyara
N be kanu barika da
N be jigi barika da iyee!
Got no shoes on baby
Got no head on baby
