Water No Get Enemy Lyrics

Fela Kuti Water No Get Enemy

To ba fe lo weh omi lo- malo (Yoruba)
If you wan go wash- water you go use

Toba fe sobeh omi lo- malo
If you wan cook soup- water you go use

To ri ba ngbona omi lero lero
If your head be hot- water it cool am

Tomo ba ngagda omi lo- malo
If your child dey grow- water you go use

If water kill your child- water you go use
Tobi ba bwi nao homi lo- malo

Ko sohun tole se ko ma lomi- o
Nothing without water (repeat this couplet)

(CHORUS) WATER, IT NO GET ENEMY - (AFTER EACH LINE)
Oh me a water-o
No go fight am, unless you wan die
I say water No get enemy
No go fight am, unless you wan die
O me a water-o
O they talk of Black-man power
O they talk of Black power, I say
I say water No get enemy
No go fight am, unless you wan die
I say water No get enemy
I say water No get enemy
O me a water-o
O me a water-o
