Elaka Oboso

Our lives are one big puzzle,
We don't know how many pieces we've got,
Thereare people that fit in quite nicely,
And people who try but do not,

We're constantly adding more pieces,
All the memories of things we've been through,
We add laughter, tears and adventure,
And the lessons we've learnt to be true,

Aye aye aye aye Elaka oboso yeiye iye
Aye aye aye aye aye Elaka oboso yeiye iye

Everyone has their own puzzle,
There will be ones where you do not fit,
Don't you ever dare make your piece smaller,
Just so you can live there for a bit.

Wande na muto na ndedi no bunyate
Welisanè ni bunya ni bongo
Di ma bèsè wande na muto na ni benge
Yeiye iye
Di ma bèsè no banya no bongo no banya no bèsè no banya no bongo
Obaseaboli na bunyatè no bongo
I ye iye

Aye aye Aye aye
Elaka oboso yeiye iye
Aye aye aye aye aye
Elaka oboso yeiye iye

Let him go
Let her go
Let them go
Let it go
At this point you deserve better
You just outgrow them in life.

Aye aye Aye aye
Elaka oboso yeiye iye
Aye aye aye aye aye
Elaka oboso yeiye iye

Ahhh Aye aye aye ahhhh aye aye
Ahhh aye aye aye ahhhh aye aye

Aye aye Aye aye
Elaka oboso yeiye iye

Aye aye aye
Ahhhh aye aye aye




Dialect translation
If you keep cutting off all your edges,One day you won't recognize what you see,
And you'll forget the person you once were,
Before the world told you who you should be,
Make the most of each piece in your puzzle,
It'll be a grand masterpiece when it's done,
So you won't have to look back when it's over,
And realize you've left out the sun
