Chorus:
Olólùfẹ́ mi Ìwọ ni mo fẹ́
Al’áyànfẹ mi ìwọ ni mo yàn
'Cause when I see you, my head
Keeps spinning round and round
Round, round, round, round, round
Round, round, round, round, round (x2)
Verse 1:
Many moons have passed since I first laid eyes on you
My goddess my queen
Over time I have come to appreciate deeply the ọmọlúwàbí in you
The purity of your character
The sweetness of your soul is what got me hooked
And in awe from the very start
The magic of our union
The spell you put on me is the inspiration for this confession Olólùfẹ́ mi
Our connectivity feels like pitch-perfect oriki poetry
Ọmọ, na you dey shack my head
See as this òyìnbó dey flow, dey go plenty
Chorus:
Olólùfẹ́ mi Ìwọ ni mo fẹ́
Al’áyànfẹ mi ìwọ ni mo yàn
'Cause when I see you, my head
Keeps spinning round and round
Round, round, round, round, round
Round, round, round, round, round
Verse 2:
I lost the ground beneath my feet when I melted in your heat
I was reborn under the eclipse sun
And yes I found life when 2 became 1
The symphony of perfection
Played in faultless harmony
Leaves no doubt in me that you were meant for me oní tèmi
I crave your lips, your touch, your hair
I'm in love with you without my guard, ego or fear
I'm done with suffocating bouts of doubts
Me always running away and taking the easy way out
Come on girl, let’s give it a try
No be mouth
Chorus:
Olólùfẹ́ mi Ìwọ ni mo fẹ́
Al’áyànfẹ mi ìwọ ni mo yàn
'Cause when I see you, my head
Keeps spinning round and round
Round, round, round, round, round
Round, round, round, round, round
Verse 3:
I remember, when I would kiss you
Lips tasted like wet sugarcane
My spirit dances to your tenderness
My belly, flutters in the sea of our love
I'm drowning in your touch
This union is magic
Yes! Pitch perfect oríkì poetry
I want to sing of it
In jùjú, highlife, àpàlà, fújì
Horns, (strings,) and every instrument
I want every minute of you
Ọba Olówu
Adé mi
Olólùfẹ́ mi
Oní tèmi
Chorus:
Oní tèmi mi Ìwọ ni mo fẹ́
Al’áyànfẹ mi ìwọ ni mo yàn
'Cause when I see you, my head
Keeps spinning round and round
Round, round, round, round, round
Round, round, round, round, round
