Smile Warm Thy Night
Mm-mm, yeah…
Oh, Nanah, you know… Di faya de bon,
but yu smile de sweet pass.
Na yu love de mek mi feel alright.
Yeah, yeah…
na yu.
When di sun go down,
and di cold wind blow,
Na yu smile, baby,
de mek mi heart glow.
Di wood de bun na di hearth tonight,
But na yu face de mek di darkness bright.
Di faya de bun,
di flame de rise,
But na yu beauty de catch mi eyes.
All di gold na dis world no fit compare,
To di love we share,
to di way yu care.
Yu no need diamond,
yu no need gold,
Na yu warm heart de protect mi soul.
When life get hard and di road get long,
Na yu sweet voice de turn am to song.
Girl, na yu mi choose,
na yu mi need,
Yu na di flower wey grow from mi seed.
From di morning light till di stars appear,
When yu de near,
mi no get no fear.
Di fire de burn,
but e go cool down,
Di night go pass,
and di rain go drown.
But di love we get,
e strong like stone,
Anywhere yu de, na de na mi home.
Yu smile de shine like di moon up high,
Yu love de lift mi up to di sky.
Your smile warm mi night,
oh, Nanah, Yu na di light wey de shine pon mi.
Di faya de burn,
but yu love burn bright,
Na yu smile de warm mi heart tonight.
Your smile warm mi night,
oh, baby, Yu na di blessing wey Allah don gi mi.
From di hearth to di stars above,
Na yu mi choose,
na yu mi love.
Oh-oh,
yu smile, yu smile,
E de mek mi heart feel fine.
Oh-oh,
yu love, yu love,
Na di blessing from di One above.
Yu smile warm mi night,
Yu love de make everything alright.
Oh, Nanah, stay by mi side,
Na yu love na mi paradise.
Grandma fire de crackle,
di old stories flow,
Elders de laugh while di evening breeze blow.
Everybody get warmth from di firelight glow,
But na yu sweet smile de steal di show.
Yu get di kind heart wey money cya buy,
Yu get di soft touch wey de dry mi eye.
When mi lose mi way,
yu de show mi road,
When mi back feel weak,
yu de share mi load.
No big mansion fit replace dis feeling,
No expensive chain fit give mi dis healing.
Na di simple tings,
like yu hand in mine,
Mek mi thank Allah every single time.
From Sierra Leone till di world outside,
Na yu mi wan get de by mi side.
If di whole world turn and di seasons change,
Mi love for yu no go ever rearrange.
If di fire die,
and di candle low,
If di cold wind come and di rain begin fall,
Hold mi hand, make we face am together,
Mi go love yu today and forever.
Allah, thank Yu for di love wey Yu send,
Give we strength make we love no end.
Na yu smile de bring peace to mi mind,
One heart, one love,
one soul entwine.
Your smile warm mi night,
oh, Nanah,
Yu na di light wey de shine pon mi.
Di faya de burn,
but yu love burn bright,
Na yu smile de warm mi heart tonight.
Your smile warm mi night,
oh, baby, Yu na di blessing wey Allah don gi mi.
From di hearth to di stars above,
Na yu mi choose,
na yu mi love.
Di firewood de bun…
But na yu smile de warm mi night.
Oh, Nanah…
Na yu love de mek mi feel alright.
Yu smile…
yu love…
My home, my peace,
my blessing from above.
Mm-mm…
forever, baby.
