This is the English translation to this beautiful piece* _ Enjoy
SARKODIE ( Intro )
What else..now!!!..Yeah
Its MOG baby
BISA KDEI (Chorus)
Oh Somebodys beloved daughter..
My love, I dont hear from you I can't sleep...
Thoughts of you keep me away from food...
Oh Love, come show me something real....
Because if you leave me I would just grow thin...
Baby, when I see you walking towards me, i almost feel like dying...
Thoughts of you keep me away from food...
Oh Love, come show me something real....
Because if you leave me I would just grow thin...
SARKODIE (Verse 1)
What else, Listen....
If my lover waits is to come to me the future, then I would be dead before she arrives....
It feels like a bird left its nest if she is not by my side at dawn...
Where my love sleeps is my concern....
If I dont hear from her, my heart always skips...
By this time she should be at mine....
Before she realises I would just fall heavily to the floor...
My love, if you hear me , please come back....
If its about money, let's manage the little....
I had patience with you till you stopped menstruating....
But you are just obviously that I am loosing my soul....
I always have goosebumps when I hear your name my love....
My lanlord wanted to evict me because i cry a lot...
How would anyone see me at this faraway place...
Please forgive me my love....
BISA KDEI (chorus)
Oh Somebodys beloved daughter..
My love, I dont hear from you I can't sleep...
Thoughts of you keep me away from food...
Oh Love, come show me something real....
Because if you leave me I would just grow thin...
Baby, when I see you walking towards me, i almost feel like dying...
Thoughts of you keep me away from food...
Oh Love, come show me something real....
Because if you leave me I would just grow thin...
BISA KDEI (Mid Verse)
Baby give me some of your love. I have really missed you... if I die then it was because of your love....
Thoughts of you would definitely kill me one day my love...
I get goosebumps when I hear your voice....
Please come quickly my love, for I cant fall asleep without you....
SARKODIE ( Verse 2 )
I am left alone, if I lift my eye I dont see my lover...
I am always thinking of you, please come quench my desire in this cold....
If I had wings, I would fly to you...
Please come to me , for its rained this dawn....
Its only tears if I close my eyes...
I cant say it all but I can say some in proverbs...
People think I have been charmed to love you....
But they forget true love is till eternity..
Where is mama, tell her I have missed my lover....
Someone should call my lover....
If you see me convulsing, just jab me some injection...
Its Abenas juicy lips that make me melt...
Even if you come and I am in a coffin, just mention her name and I would rise...
Dont let me sad, someone's beloved...
Just come look for me before I die because of you....
Come and let me protect you before you get into trouble...bisa...
BISA KDEI (Chorus)
Oh Somebodys beloved daughter..
My love, I dont hear from you I can't sleep...
Thoughts of you keep me away from food...
Oh Love, come show me something real....
Because if you leave me I would just grow thin...
Baby, when I see you walking towards me, i almost feel like dying...
Thoughts of you keep me away from food...
Oh Love, come show me something real....
Because if you leave me I would just grow thin...
