I'm In Love

 

I'm in love, and it's true,  

Every time I see you, my heart says "dùn" like stew.  

Your smile shines bright, like the afternoon sun "ọsan,"  

With you by my side, every day is "ọjọ ayọ," no wrong.

When you speak, my heart does a dance,  

Like "egwu" in the village, it’s a sweet romance.  

Your voice is like "mmanụ," smooth and fine,  

I thank God daily that you are mine.

In the market, I buy "suya" to share,  

Thinking of you, nothing can compare.  

Your laughter is "kwantace," strong and pure,  

With you, I know my love is secure.

No one can love the way I love you.  

You’re my "ife," my joy, my "sarki" king,  

Together forever, we'll dance and sing.
