Chale, life is a funny thing
Sometimes the sweetest song turns to a silent cry
I remember the sunrise at Independence Square
Walking with Vida, feeling like we had no care
Your laughter was the rhythm of my soul
I gave you my heart, I gave you total control
We spoke of forever under the Accra sky
Back then, my love, I never thought you’d say goodbye
Chale, the sweetness was enough to last a lifetime
I believed in the melody, I believed in the rhyme
Oh Vida, the love was a fire that burned so bright
But even the brightest candle flickers in the night
Happiness turned to madness, anger, and pain
Now I’m standing here walking alone in the rain
Vida, why did you let the trust drift away?
Now the ghost of our promise is all that stays
Then the rumors started, a bitter pill to swallow
Finding out the truth left a heart so hollow
You walked with another, a secret in your skin
How could you betray the place where love had been?
Eii, the silence between us started to grow
Deep in my chest, a sorrow I didn't want to know
I was angry, I was broken, I was feeling the sting
Of realizing love is a sharp and dangerous thing
Oh Vida, the love was a fire that burned so bright
But even the brightest candle flickers in the night
Happiness turned to madness, anger, and pain
Now I’m standing here walking alone in the rain
Vida, why did you let the trust drift away?
Now the ghost of our promise is all that stays
Then you came back, with a name for your child
Calling her mine, while my spirit was wild
How do you look at a face that isn't mine?
And name her for me to mask your grand design?
Wonim?! It’s a tragedy written in ink
Pushing my heart to the very brink
It’s a love that is honest, it’s a love that is cruel
I played the part of the devoted, the fool
But truth is a light that exposes the dark
Even when the flame loses its original spark
I forgive you, Vida, though the wound is still deep
I have to move on, I have promises to keep
Chop life as you can, but truth is the key
I wish you peace, though you’re far from me
Oh Vida, the love was a fire that burned so bright
But even the brightest candle flickers in the night
Happiness turned to madness, anger, and pain
Now I’m standing here walking alone in the rain
Vida, why did you let the trust drift away?
Now the ghost of our promise is all that stays
Oyiwa, the story is told at last
Leaving the shadows of our haunted past
Vida, you were the light, you were the fall
Goodbye to the love, goodbye to it all
Ah ah!
