ASHABI DANCE.

Ashabi, with the toughest skin
And the strongest timber,
I prepared this drum
To suit your passion Ashabi.

For days I shut my eyes to the sun,
Working tirelessly for your sake.
Multiple nights under the bamboo tree,
Memorising the lines of this beautiful song.

Ashabi, the soup is ready,
Come eat from my table,
My table of words
And melodious songs.

Ashabi dance round my table
Under the atmosphere of love.
Rise to your feet Ashabi
And dance to the words from my drum.

I am Emmanuel
