Hello,

Not being Nigerian, I'm looking for a "translation" into international English of the following songs by Femi Kuti.

Oyimbo (in Day by Day)
I beg leave me
My life I dey think
No disturb me
With nonsense gist
The fine things of life
These people don’t see
Their bad mind
No gree make them get better dream
So with their crooked legs
Them waka go redeem
But salvation comes from within
Seek and ye shall find
Definitively with music
Whose rich harmonies and melodies
Will truly bring peace
All in the name of peace
We fight and kill to find justice
For me na only music
From the voice of the soul we speak
Wetin concern me with English my brothers
Na them kuku them selfish my sisters
They bank Africa money like the Swiss
Oyimbo don kill Africa finish


Sorry sorry (in Shoki Shoki)
If my eyes no decieve me
and na true be things my ears dey hear
politicians and soldiers make e meeting
Our country dem wan repair
dem dey make like say
dem know o know
say na dem a spoil our country so
as dem dey dabaru am dey o
na so my people dey follow o o

i sorry sorry o, i sorry for Nigeria,
i sorry sorry o, i sorry for Africa
sorry sorry o
i sorry sorry o, i sorry for Nigeria,
i sorry sorry o, i sorry for Africa
sorry sorry o

As we [never get decided],

Look my friends
dem no like to hear word
na to dey follow follow, follow dem enemies
like zombie, dem dey go dey march dey go
dey fight for other people
wey spoil Nigeria so
these politicians and soldiers
dem be one and the same
no one different [from] the other
my people no wan know
but with kind of leaders
Africa no get hope
Africans will suffer
we go suffer reach our bone


Thank you in advance !
