Prisluhnili, prisluhnile bomo nedavno izdani kompilaciji del, ki jih je v sedemdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja skupaj z zasedbo Philosophers National sčaral nigerijski mislec in glasbenik Celestine Ukwu.

DO NOT BE ARROGANT

One shouldn't brag with this world

One shouldn't boast with this world

One shouldn't worry about tomorrow

Tomorrow is uncertain

One shouldn't worry about the future

Because the future is vast

Le-le-le-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo

Wooo-ooooooh

Tomorrow is pregnant

We don't know what it will birth

Le-le-le-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo

Wooo-ooooooh

 

When something befalls one

We (Igbo people) shouldn't mock the person

No one knows how theirs will be

Wo-wooooo-wo

We're just here to try our best until we leave

We're just here to try our best until we leave

Le-le-le-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo

Wooo-ooooooh

 

My people,

When some people accumulate the wealth of this world,

They think that life ends here

We no longer remember

That this world is not our home

No one at the point of their death

Takes all their riches and properties to the grave

All these things were here before we came

And they will still be here when we leave

That's why one shouldn't boast with what they have

Ha ha ha ha ha ...
