Oya Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Even if I feel the sun on my skin everyday
If I don't feel you
Even if I see the most beautiful things up in the sky
If I don't see you

[Chorus]
Take me Oya
Take me Oya
Take me Oya
Take me Oya

[Verse 2]
Even if my hands can catch the wind, catch the clouds
If I don't see you
Even if i feel the sun on my skin everyday
If I don't feel you

[Chorus]
Take me Oya
Take me Oya
Take me Oya
Take me Oya

[Bridge]
Ah, toi le seul et l'unique
Toi qui parle a mon coeur
Ah, toi le seul et l'unique
Mais qui pars sans moi
Toi qui pars sans moi

[Chorus]
Take me Oya
Take me Oya
Take me Oya
Take me Oya

[Outro]
Oya Wemilloro e
Oya Wemilloro e
