[Intro]
Nini de o, ay

[Verse 1]
When the curtain falls
Before the show is done
You were meant to stay
But you went away
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause it’s raining, raining
Oh, my heart is breaking, breaking
I just want my baby
But they say, “He’s in a better place”
[Chorus]
Ma ka eni ni nka o
O d’oju ala o
Sharausa wata kulaye
Ko sẹni ni to ma la o
Wa maa do mi tete
Araye nika o
Sharausa wata kulaye
Ko sẹni ma la o

[Verse 2]
Together forever (forever, forever)
For richer, for poorer (for richer and poorer)
In good times and bad times (oh, whoa, whoa, whoa)
‘Til death do us, ’til death do us apart
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause it’s raining, raining
Oh, my heart is breaking, breaking
I just want my baby
But they say, “He’s in a better place”
