Asabi

My eyes are weak
But it wouldn’t close
Only when it beholds you
Oh! Of special birth “ASABI”
Are you heading to the stream?
If so I can help to lift the water pot
Upon your head

My eyes are weak
But it wouldn’t close
Only when it beholds you
Oh! Of special birth “ASABI”
Are you heading to the farm?
If so I can take the cutlass
And you take the hoe

My eyes are weak
But it wouldn’t close
Only when it beholds you
Oh! Of special birth “ASABI”
Are you heading to the market?
If so I can take the yam
And you take the bush meat
