Oh Abiba
Leaving your young man for Baba
I wish you could be money sober
So you’ll see burdens on your future shoulder
As the poor fourth trophy of Baba
4.
Dear Abiba
Please tell me, how old is Baba?
Who has seen your beautiful flower
And has used his many one dollar
…to so on you tower
Do you know burdens on your future shoulder?
3.
Ah Abiba
Six other eyes are on you and Baba
Your babies will in future need their father
Who might soon be with his real maker
Wouldn’t you look like such a joker?
2.
Ei Abiba!
You thought of the final before the beginning?
You think of now instead of the ending
You’re breaking a heart that could take you to your ending
I’m sure your mind, your carelessness is defending
Self unloving!
I’m just doing the onlooking
1.
So Abiba
Let your future you think of today
When you have much to say
When your resolve is broken
And your youth is stolen
And all mouths, you, are mocking
To stop the chariot of regret
…in helplessness and fret
Because I see it happening
In a future when your words will kneel
…in front of all feelings they did kill
