She doesn't dance with the young girls
She's with the old
Heart's bright as a candle
With flames of gold
So when I come from the city
I'll come for you
And when I blow in the city
I'll blow for you
I'm just a rise for you movement
Ileke bi
Mo gbogo t'ore f'olorun
Iwo ni mofe ma ji ri
And when I leave for the city
I'm coming back
And when I come from the city
I'll take you back (back back back)
I'll take you back (back back back back)
Ma binu mi oni pede
Sing for me
Bi eleyele
Ca ca cause we gonna be okay
One day our dreams would be golden
Our dreams would be golden
She's got the voice of a song bird
A smile to love
You see her soul is a diamond
I must afford
So when I come from the city
I'll come for you
And when I blow in the city
I'll blow for you
She sings the song of the elders
To keep me warm
I miss the way that she dances
To the drum
So when I leave for the city
I'm coming back
And when I come from the city
I'll take you back (back back back)
I'll take you back (back back back back)
Ma binu mi oni pe de

Yeah our dreams would be golden
Ma binu mi oni pe de (pe de)
Sing for me (don't love you)
Bi eleyele
Ca ca cause we gonna be okay (okay)
One day our dreams would be golden
Yeah our dreams would be golden
Ma sun kun

Sing for me
B'eye adaba
Ca ca we gonna be okay
One day our dreams would be golden

Our dreams would be golden
