JẸ́JẸ́LAYÉ


What ètùtù did you offer to the goddess of beauty to made you this beautiful from the north of east to the south of west? 

Arẹwa mi, 
Fine tone my art
to the beauty of your heart; let me fit in to your gallery wall.

The way you walk your steps made me recall the cooing of the crowned Eye that says  _*"Jéjélayé".*_

How do you do it? 
Its like you speak the language of your ìlẹ̀kẹ̀;
They understood the language of your waist. 

I love the sign your gèlè gives for its in my favor;
Kojú sọ́ kọ, Kẹ̀yìn sálè.

Jẹ́jẹ́layé, 
Take your love slowly on me just as your name, Jẹ́jẹ́ implies. 

Show me this beautiful love and I promise to bring down the moon for you.
