Mohamed Gaima on the beat again for my Irish special, oh.
*Muateh loo o!* (Everybody look!)
Listen…
Today is the day! We celebrate the Queen, the queen of swag, award-winning beauty queen like an old wine.
Isha Irish Sowa, my sweetheart and Wanjama Beauty with brain, look what you do to me, oh.
The Wanjama Beauty, *Mende Nyapoi, Nyadeboo!*
*Hinda lila* (Beautiful thing), listen...
**[Verse 1]**
From the first day that I look your face,
My heart start to race, no time to waste, oh.
Plenty girls want to occupy the space,
But na you get the key, na you get the grace.
You bring the calm to my storm,
Keep me safe, keep me warm.
*Kpele* (sweetheart), your love dey sweet me *teteh*,
And today is your birthday, my love,
A beautiful blessing sent from above!
**[Pre-Chorus]**
’Cause your love is a standard asset,
The kind of joy I can never forget.
You are my premium, my special design,
I bless the day that you said you’ll be mine.
*Oya, shak am, bo!* Dance for me, make we celebrate,
With you by my side, everything is great!
**[Chorus]**
Oh Isha, my sweetheart, my rhythm and blues,
Happy Birthday to you, I no fit to lose!
My Irish, the melody inside my soul,
*Nyadeboo*, you make me whole.
*Baby, baby, baby o! Your love dey sweet my body,*
*Baby, baby, baby o! No one above my lady.*
**[Verse 2]**
They say wealth takes time to build,
But with you, my account is already fulfilled.
You are the foundation, the structure, the plan,
You make me a better, a stronger man.
From Kailahun court barry my hometown, to the hills of Kabala,
Down to Kenema, Bo, Freetown, and right into Makeni city, the Northern side!
We go match past the Cotton Tree, let the whole world see my sweetheart.
Dynasty fine, but your love is the crown,
Wanjama Beauty, you wear it well in town!
Chief Gaima the Kailahun king gets his Wanjama Beauty forever, *biri-biri!*
**[Pre-Chorus]**
’Cause your love is a standard asset,
The kind of joy I can never forget.
You are my premium, my special design,
*I nya lolei* (my love), I’m glad you are mine.
**[Chorus]**
Oh Isha, my sweetheart, my Irish Wanjama baby, my rhythm and blues,
Happy Birthday to you, I no fit to lose!
My Irish, the melody inside my soul,
You complete me, you make me whole.
*Baby, baby, baby o! Your love dey sweet my body,*
*Baby, baby, baby o! No one above my lady.*
**[Bridge]**
(Beat drops lower, sweet acoustic guitar chords swell, getting rhythmic with a *bubu* flute)
*Mende Nyapoi, Nyadeboo,*
*I ndor lo ma o* (I love you), nobody fine reach you.
From Tiwai Island down to River No. 2,
My heart belongs completely to you.
No matter the distance, no matter the storm,
In your arms is where I belong.
Isha Irish Sowa, my partner for life,
Blessed to celebrate my beautiful wife.
Yeah… we’re building an empire, true wealth and grace,
*Oya, pass the ginger beer,* let's light up the place!
**[Outro]**
(Horns and sax come back in full force, background vocals chanting "Happy Birthday, Isha!")
My sweetheart… Isha Irish Sowa.
The Wanjama Beauty.
*Mende Nyapoi, Nyadeboo.*
Mohamed Gaima wishes you happy birthday, *a fuba!* (it is well!)
Forever and a day, oh.
My only vibe. Happy Birthday, my love!
(Instrumental fades out with a final, joyful *kondogi* riff, drum roll, and loud applause)
