"nse" poems
Fàdéshéwà!
Omo baba é,
Born with a silver spoon
Your fun will end soon.
Fàdéshéwà!
Oko Maama é,
All rods were spared
But she was ruined by her peer
Fàdéshéwà!
Omo Oba,
The beauty of our land
Now cursed by the gods.
Fàdéshéwà!!
The most beloved
Clothed with pride
From your fall you can never hide.
Fàdéshéwà!
Please make us proud.
That was her mama's cry
Yet she would not even try.
Fàdéshéwà!
Ranti omo eni ti iwo nse
Her father warned
But she refuses to fàdé shéwà.
