Mother’s Tongue Lyrics

Wondering what it’ll take to get my own x 2
Nwa nne m if I must sing it all alone
I’ll sing in my mother’s tongue x 2

Baka baka in my mind
Utu utu in my soul I know
I walk through the unknown
Baka baka in my mind
Utu utu in my soul I know
I walk through the unknown
I walk through the unknown
Oooo ehhh

Onye ga-enye m (Who will give me?)
Onye ga-ewepu (Who will take away?)

We won’t wait any longer
We can do it much stronger
Won’t wait any longer
We can do it much stronger together

Onye ga-enye m (Who will give me?)
Onye ga-ewepu (Who will take away?)

Wondering what it will take to get my own x 2
Nwa nne m if I must sing it all alone
I’ll sing in my mother’s tongue
I'll dance in my mother’s tongue
I’ll fight in my mother’s tongue
I love in my mother’s tongue

Oooo ehhh x 2
