SALUTE TO THE EGBURA WOMAN

SALUTE TO THE EGBURA WOMAN
Like a thick rope
She ties together the whole home
The connecting road between the old and young
She is the strong breed
The Egbura woman.

She hangs on the wings of loyalty and faith
No matter how hot the wind of disagreement and anger blows
She never falls on the hard floor of anger and disrespect
She is a lawful immigrant who crosses no border without clearance
The white dove never darkens
That is the Egbura woman.

See this lioness like a lion
Her heart of iron yet so tender
In it flows plenty milk of kindness
A stream that never dries in all seasons
Gbede full of life and ripe with life.
