ONYE OBI M CHORO (THE ONE MY HEART WANTS)

Achala Ugo m.
Dim oma
Ugo m.
Onye na za m ekpere.

My own.
The sound of your footsteps makes my heart 'yori yori'
Who will deny that you are the 'orji'(kolanut) that brings 'ndu'(life).
Who will deny that you are the 'mmanya' (wine) that brings true 'obi anwuli'(heart joy)
Who will deny that you are the only 'ego' (money) that brings 'obi oma' (peace of mind)
Who will deny that you are the only 'Chukwu' that provides an excellent 'ofe-nsala' to go with the fufu on ground.

Chim
So so gi ka m choro
You are the only one I desire.

The only alert I want to be receiving all the days of my life.
The only container I want to keep clearing all the days of my existence.
Your presence is the only 'ugbo' (farm) I want to keep going till I die.
You are the only 'ugwu' I want to keep plucking to make my egusi most nutritious.
You are the only 'osimiri' (river) I want to visit and the 'mmiri' (water) I want to keep drinking till I die.
Your corn and 'ube' satisfies me much better than a thousand pounded yam and egusi prepared by the world.
I prefer to ride in your peugeots 504 on a bumpy road to heaven than drink champagne in a Rolls Royce on a smooth way to hell.

Chukwu m o.
Dim o.
Onye obi m choro.
In you and for you do I wish to live my life.
