Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, linivè ja désidé ba nou
Tout zétwal anlè menm larèl-la
Limiè-a ka montré nou chimen nou
Pa ni haza, yein ki rendez-vous

Temps ka aidé nou oublié
Anba la lin clè, nou ka kité'y filé
Grif nan tèt, tèt nan lè
Sa ékri, fok viv li
Ki si swa yo fè, kis si swa yo di

Sa ki fo, sé tous sa nou pé fè
Sa ki fo, sé an tous sa nou ka kwè
Sa ki fo, sé an lov an doucè
Sa ki fo, gadé douvan zyé ouvè

Sa ki fo, sé an lov'
Sa ki fo, sé an doucè
Sa ki fo, sé an lov'
Sa ki fo

Gimme gimme gimme you give me love, I know, I know
You gimme love, I know, I know
And I know, I know, I know, I know
And I know, I know, I know, I know

Hustle in fadama
Singing hallelujah
Adey my corner what they up in
Disco in mossama

Abi you wan power
You wan escape wahala
The people for the top
They not dey listen dont bother

Tick tock, tick tock
Time we for dey wake up
Wake dey alert chale reason
Clear your eye top

Enobe what we vote for
See we for dey focus
Tricky tricky politician
Trying to kill my mind off

Hossana nyame save us
From Accra to Lagos
On and off electric begging sugar from my neighbours
Confusion and chaos
Corruption in the papers
Obia nyame obia so your huuhu nogo break us
Gimme some love, all I need, all I need
I needa gimme some love, all I need, all I need

You gimme love, I know, I know
You gimme love, I know, I know
And I know, I know, I know, I know
And I know, I know, I know, I know

You gimme love, I know, I know
You gimme love, I know, I know
And I know, I know, I know, I know
And I know, I know, I know, I know

Sa ki fo, gimme the love, yes I know say sa ki fo
Sa ki fo, gimme the love, yes I know say sa ki fo
Sa ki fo, gimme the love, yes I know say sa ki fo
Sa ki fo, gimme the love, yes I know say sa ki fo

Sa ki fo, sé tous sa nou pé fè (sa ki fo, gimme the love, yes I know say sa ki fo)
Sé an lov an doucè (sa ki fo, gimme the love, yes I know say sa ki fo)
Nou tout ka allé an menm direction -an (sa ki fo, gimme the love, yes I know say sa ki fo)




Nou ka fè kon nou pé (sa ki fo, gimme the love, yes I know say sa ki fo)
Sé sa ki fo, sé sa ki fo, sé an lov', lov '
