Sweet tales of the arid North
When under that lovely Zaria night,
The calm breeze whistled
The tale of love,
Of my lover and I…

Just outside DLC, ABU
Not knowing what the future held,
We spoke of it anyways,
Guess the future heard the conversations
Between my lover and I…

I remember it like it was yesterday,
Saying sweet nothings
That held the promise of something,
Something beautiful that exists
Between my lover and I…

O ancient land of Zaria,
Thanks for writing a tale,
Dipped in love’s quill ink
On the canvas of your soil
Of my lover and I…
