Zobo, the water of pleasure
Drink and feel sweet.
Drink and feel good.
It is a dry red flower.
Mixed in water.
black-red with a slight sourness
If sugar is put on it, it is so sweet.
If flavor is added, it is not sour.
The story of Zobo is puffy.
A sundry with water during the day
At home and in the ceremonies
In school and the market
Everyone is drinking.
like youngsters and grown-ups
And school children
At lunchtime
It makes children shine and be bright.
Adults enjoy drinking it.
especially in hot weather.
Since the north is hot
in this season of global warming.
And spring and summer.
The zobo in the fridge is cool.
Zobo in a jug, then a cup
Zobo in the cup
Then we sip.
