The lyrics of Yemi Alade's "Sugar" seem to be a playful and flirtatious conversation between the singer and her love interest. The repeated use of "rekale dekale," "maloma dekale," and "coincidental dekal" appears to be meaningless phrases or made-up words used just for the sake of the rhyme and rhythm of the song. The chorus of the song consists mainly of the repetition of the word "sugar," which is used as a metaphor for the addictiveness and sweetness of the love that they share. The singer also talks fondly about her "sweet Mirinda," which could be interpreted as a reference to a lover or simply an affectionate nickname for someone.
The lyrics also mention "mama riba riba" and "yaya babadi," which are also nonsensical phrases that may be used for their sound rather than meaning. The words "sibari" and "ribari" could be references to places or things, but their significance is not clear from the song. The repeated use of "ah" and "ha" sounds throughout the song adds to the playful and lighthearted nature of the lyrics.
Overall, the lyrics of "Sugar" are not particularly deep or complex, but they capture the carefree and flirtatious mood of the song well. The use of meaningless phrases and made-up words adds to the fun and lighthearted feel of the song.

@justjojoent
odinese nwad you in particular always comment with very insolent words on almost all Yemi Alade's videos. I wonder why you are so pained and full of hate!!! calm down, if you don't like her then stay away simple. God bless
@justjojoent
odinese nwad and that's your own personal opinion! stop trying to be a nuisance by trying to get others to be part of that opinion cos of your hate simple!
@justjojoent
odinese nwad you comment like someone that has been sent or paid to put up negative comments about this artist, if that's the case then unfortunately your not only full of hate, but also a very sad person indeed...all the insolent comments you make, does that make you sleep better at night or what, can you not comment constructively or criticize with common sense.
