Nna! The season is finally calling.
Iso-bendeghe, the time is here.
The harmattan breeze is blowing through the trees
I can feel the spirit rising in the air
We have been working hard since the start of the year
Now it is time to gather, time to show we care
From the village square down to the city street
Everybody is moving to the rhythm of the beat
Pack your bags, tell the family we are on our way
Iso-bendeghe is waiting, we are coming home today.
Oh, Iso-bendeghe, December is coming
Oya, join the celebration, keep the heart humming
Oh, Iso-bendeghe, we are coming back home
Under the moonlight, wherever we roam
Chai! The vibe is sweet, the feeling is pure
December in the village is the only cure.
We bring the laughter, we bring the palm wine flow and eruru for bush meat
on the table, watch Ada and cossy glow
No more wahala, no more stress on the mind
Leave all the hustle and the city life behind
Buan bane eji, the brothers are ready, the sisters look fine
We dance together until the stars begin to shine
It is a season of harvest, a season of peace
Let the joy of the homecoming never cease.
Oh, Iso-bendeghe, December is coming
Oya, join the celebration, keep the heart humming
Oh, Iso-bendeghe, we are coming back home
Under the moonlight, wherever we roam
Chai! The vibe is sweet sweet, the feeling is pure
December in the village is the only cure.
Chop life today, because tomorrow is a gift
Let the music give your heavy soul a lift
From the city of gold back to our root
We celebrate the journey and the ripened fruit.
Ase ne besand, come let us dance in the sun
The celebration has only just begun
Old friends meeting, stories told by the fire
This is the moment that our hearts desire
No matter how far we roam in the land
We keep the connection, walking hand in hand
Iso-bendeghe shines bright in the night
Everything is steady, everything is right.
Oh, Iso-bendeghe, December is coming
Oya, join the celebration, keep the heart humming
Oh, Iso-bendeghe, we are coming back home
Under the moonlight, wherever we roam
Chai! The vibe is sweet, the feeling is pure
December in the village is the only cure.
Yeah, we are coming home.
Iso-bendeghe calling, the spirit is strong. My appreciation goes to my beloved wife blessing etta, my late parent chief and Mrs jacob Etta akuba
Chop life! Oya!
Homecoming joy forever.
