A Congolese Okapi Brings Me Your Love Letter
A Congolese okapi brings me
Your love letter, darling !
You decided well to not send
It via the sky this time.
You said that you want to see me,
Face to face.
Oya! Well done darling,
My future wife!
You are so rarely
Like a Congolese okapi !
You are most beautiful
Like an African peacock!
I think you won't faint
When you will see me
Because I am not handsome.
No one will call you a robber
If you succeed to steal my heart.
No person will call you lazy girl
If your one look provokes
Earthquake into my entire body.
I don't know how I will be feelling
Seeing the moon in my house daily.
My late grand father used to say,
" A man can achieve
Many things when he is in love."
My grand mother always said,"
If you knock on the wrong door,
You find a bad girl and
You will be finished."
I am already a victim
As I knocked on a wrong door earlier.
I think you will not mess up
My hard achievement.
I think you will always be poetry
In my entire life.
