Oya
Ibeyi Lyrics
Even if I feel the sun on my skin everyday
If I don't feel you
Even if I see the most beautiful thing up in the sky
If I don't see you
Take me oya, take me oya
Take me oya, take me oya
Even if my hand's skin catch the wind
Catch the cloud, if I don't see you
Even if I feel the sun on my skin everyday
If I don't feel you
Take me oya, take me oya
Take me oya, take me oya
Toi, le soleil, l'Uni, toi qui parles à mon coeur
Toi, le soleil, l'Uni, mais qui pars sans moi
Toi qui pars sans moi
Take me oya, take me oya
Take me oya, take me oya
Oya Wemilloro e
Oya Wemilloro e

Even if I see the most beautiful thing up in the sky
If I don't see you
Take me oya, take me oya
Take me oya, take me oya
Even if my hand's skin catch the wind,
Catch the cloud, if I don't see you
Even if I feel the sun on my skin everyday
If I don't feel you
Take me oya, take me oya
Take me oya, take me oya
Toi, le soleil, l'Uni, toi qui parles à mon coeur
Toi, le soleil, l'Uni, mais qui pars sans moi
Toi qui pars sans moi
Take me oya, take me oya
Take me oya, take me oya
