Ṣadé with the shimmering red beads
Ṣadé with the sashay in her walk
Ṣadé with the sass in her tongue
Ṣadé has kept my heart in a cage
Ṣadé leads me on a labyrinthine path
Zig zag it goes
She tells me no today
And clings to me tomorrow
She frowns at me today
And greets me with a warm smile tomorrow
Ṣadé, your love takes me round and round
this circle of confusion
With no end in sight
