[Intro – spoken, bass + organ bubble, light Nyabinghi]
Evenin’, Bayombong breeze.
Step through di door—Ate smile, “tara, pasok po.”
Mi come fi cool di day, hold a likkle joy wid mi people.
AUrA—mek we settle.

[Verse 1 – bass steady, bubble soft]
Dust on mi shoes, day long like di highway,
First sip Blue Lagoon, stress drift far away.
Tuna dragon-fruit sparkle, citrus kiss di air,
Triple-cheese pull like moonlight in yuh hair.
Server laugh, “kain tayo,” pullin’ up a chair—
Service gentle-sweet, bold love, modern flare.

[Pre-Chorus – Rhodes lift, skank bright]
Mi slow mi pace, rest mi bones, feel di care,
Story start ’pon di off-beat right here.

[Chorus – full riddim, horn stabs, call/response]
AUrA—good vibes in di air,
Auranians sway—hear di heart we share.
AUrA—taste di love we prepare,
Bold flavors wid a modern flare.
(AUrA—hey! AUrA—hey!)

[Verse 2 – organ stronger, shaker rise]
Chef flip ribeye ’pon lava—little sizzle, little sigh,
Aglio olio twirl—simple, classy, fly.
Mango smoothie sunshine, Caesar crisp and clean,
Friends turn fambam; we live inside di scene.
“Salamat,” mi whisper, as di laughter repair—
Small blessings stack like plates on a chair.

[Bridge – drums drop soft; dub echoes; Nyabinghi lead]
When life feel heavy, mi come right here,
One plate, one smile—clouds disappear.
Bayombong heartbeat inna gentle prayer,
Love cook slow—we breathe good air.

[Verse 3 – Afrobeats switch-up: tempo lifts to 104-BPM feel (double-time hats) • Afro-fusion bounce: kick on 1&/3&, light log-drum sync • rim-click groove • palm-muted gtr plucks • shekere + conga taps • Rhodes stabs • horns tacet • BGV hum pad “oooh” • crowd “AUrA!” on 2&.]

DJ flip di vibe, city glowin’ soft tonight,
Waistline move small small, heartbeat hold mi tight.
“Sige, tara,” whisper—fingers lace with mine,
No wahala, baby, we floatin’ on this time.
Blue Lagoon kiss ya lip, cool breeze on ya hair,
Mango in ya laughter—sweet lights everywhere.
Auranians round we, family circle bright,
AUrA inna chest—two shadows turn to light.
Step-step, sway-sway, follow where you go,
Slow wine, low voice—love taste modern flare inna flow.

[Final Chorus – full band; chant loud back to reggae]
AUrA—good vibes in di air,
Auranians groove, hands up everywhere.
AUrA—taste di love we prepare,
Bold flavors wid a modern flare.
(AUrA—hey!) Link di page, book yuh chair—
See yuh later; we’ll meet you there.

[Outro – bass carry, organ bubble; tape-delay fades]
Yes I… one place, one vibe—AUrA.
