dada don't leave

Dad, don't leave
Ka zo ba ka dade ba sai ka bi ka tashi kuma?
Inda haka ake yin ta da na bar kasar nan zuwa
wurin da bazaku gan ni ba ai
You left me an infant,
And when you came back I couldn't recognize you
Now you wanna leave again?
Haba baba na,
baba da dadi,
ama wani dadi ka kabani?
Oh dada, I wish I'll never outgrow calling you
that..
Ina son ka daga zuchi ta
Ubangiji kijai ya sani,
I'll miss you again..
I'm grown now dad,
maybe when next we meet again I'll be a father
by then,
your grand kids will be the ones yelling out;
baba da dadi.
