“Nọdụ Ala” lyrics
Nọdụ ala
Your place still dey here
You stand for gate with your cap for hand
Say you no carry anything come
Who ask you for contribution?
Na your face we wan see, my son
Your cousin shift, the bench get space
The old jokes still dey work
You think say years go make you stranger
Come inside before food cold
Nọdụ ala
Your place still dey here
Nọdụ ala
Na our person we dey see
Rie ihe, rie ihe
Nọdụ ala
Rie ihe, rie ihe
Nọdụ ala
Ẹ má dúró síta
Ẹ wọlé, ẹ jẹun
A ti ń retí yín
Ẹ wá jó pẹ̀lú wa
You show the picture of your daughter
Everybody gather round
You say you nearly turn for junction
Now your laugh dey shake the house
Nọdụ ala
Your place still dey here
Nọdụ ala
Na our person we dey see
Nọdụ ala
Your place still dey here
Nọdụ ala
Na our person we dey see
Rie ihe, rie ihe
Nọdụ ala
Rie ihe, rie ihe
Nọdụ ala
Carry small go give your people
Tell dem say we greet dem well
Nọdụ ala
You fit still stay small
