Okela

Letra

[Intro] Okela, okela Come on, come closer [Verse 1] You brought a paper fan and a pocket full of change I brought two cups of mango, nothing fancy, nothing strange By the corner where the vendors pack their tables for the night You laughed before the punchline, and the whole block caught the light [Pre-Chorus] If the road bends, we bend with it If the rain comes, we run with it No map needed, take my hand We’ll make a little place to stand [Chorus] Okela, okela, say it once and turn around Okela, okela, lift your feet up off the ground You and me, no hurry, let the good news find us here Okela, okela, best small word I’ve heard all year [Verse 2] There’s a blue chair by the doorway, there’s a radio inside Your auntie keeps the rhythm while the children race outside Someone calls us in for supper, someone saves the sweetest piece Every ordinary minute finds a way to bring us peace [Pre-Chorus] If the road bends, we bend with it If the rain comes, we run with it No map needed, take my hand We’ll make a little place to stand [Chorus] Okela, okela, say it once and turn around Okela, okela, lift your feet up off the ground You and me, no hurry, let the good news find us here Okela, okela, best small word I’ve heard all year [Bridge] When tomorrow asks for answers We can give it what we know A shared plate, an open window And a reason not to go [Final Chorus] Okela, okela, say it once and turn around Okela, okela, lift your feet up off the ground You and me, no hurry, let the good news find us here Okela, okela, keep that little word near [Outro] Okela, okela Come on, come closer Okela
