Dear Princess, come close to me and tell me what to believe in,
Cos ever since I looked into your eyes I have been hooked like a crack fiend.
You know what they say about this;
you lose your heart and your head goes with it;
And then it's madness.
Whisper to the me if you are afraid they would hear you
leave me a note and tell me where to find you
Smile back when I do, even if you wouldn't like to
Cos I don't want to feel like a ghost anymore.
I don't want to go bed another day drooling over you
Cos mama says I've talking in my sleep and I bet it's true
I want something better than that;
Like sleeping and waking up next to you
Dear Princess, would you please whisper into my ears
Could you kindly tell me to say no more?
Nwanyi oma, bia m nso ka igwa m ihe m ga-ekwere na ya
maka na kemgbe m lere gi anya n'ime anya, Atozirim ato ka onye na ese anwuru
Okwa ima ife a na-ekwu maka Udiri ihea?
onye tufuo obi ya, Isi ya esoro,
Ozu ohuro Ara.
Takwunyerem ya, oburu na ona atu gi egwu na ha ga anu olu gi
dere m ya n'akwukwo, gwa m ebe m ga afu gi.
Chiara m ochi mgbe m chiri gi, ma oburugodi na omasigho gi,
maka na achorozim Ina ahu onwe m ka onye mmuo ozo.
Achorozim, inaba ura na echekasi onwe m maka gi.
Maka na mama m gwaram na m na ekwuzi okwu n'nro o we di m ka o bu eziokwu
A chorom ihe ka ife ahu mma;
Dika inaba ma tete ura n'akuku gi.
Nwanyi Oma, were obi ebere gi takwunyere m ya na nti m.
Si m ekwuzina, maka na inugo ihe m na-ekwu.
