Lyrics:

To ba b'oni sakara pade
Pasan to ma fi na e oje l'o nje
Kini won se npe o
Shakara oloje ni

[Chorus]
Shakara oloje ni

Shakara oloje ni o...

We get the shakara man
We get the shakara woman
Shakara man, him go say,
'I go beat you, I go nearly kill you'
Na shakara
'I go beat you, go beat am and get accident'
Na shakara
'You no know me'
Na shakara
'Wait make I commot my dress'
Na shakara

You see, even if you do nothing
Na shakara oloje
We get a song for that
We go sing am like this, we go sing:
Ah, ah
Ah ni, ah ni, ah ni...

Ma kan na e
Ma kan na e pa
Iwo ke, oti mo mi ni
To ba to ko duro de mi o
Duro de mi ki'nbo so mi
Wa je baba nla iya iro ni o ko le ja
Oje lo nyo, kini won se npe o

[Chorus]
Shakara oloje ni

Shakara oloje ni o...

The shakara woman
Tell her I say, 'My dear I like you'
She go say, 'E like you? Who you like?'
'Come on jare, look at this man'
'Why you come from self?'
'I be near you, no touch me o'

Ah, you see, she wan you
Na shakara
We call am shakara oloje
We get a song for that
We sing am like this, we go sing:
Ah, ah
Ah ni, ah ni, ah ni...

To ba f'owo kan mi
To ba f'owo kan mi
Jowo fi mi sile
Tabi ki lo nse e
O m'egbe ni, nibo loti jawa
Nibo loti jawa
Nibo loti jawa to lokun lorun
Emi pelu re ko
Iro ni o, o fe se o oje lon'yo
Kini won se npe o

[Chorus]
Shakara oloje ni

Shakara oloje ni o...
