If Kizz Daniel's Twe Twe was written in English:
Wón ní things ti wón
Wón ní omo ò wón
(They claim the price of things is on the rise
But birthing a child is cheap)
Wón ní car ti won
Ká sáa kojo [dede]
Mallam na mallam
(They lament the hike in car prices
But it's a must we gather cars [consistently]
It is what it is)
Amdullah, owó mi pò dáadáa
Yen yen yen yen
(Thanks to God, my money continues to multiply
Blah blah blah blah)
Omoge wá wo coast
Sáré wá kí n toast e
Mo ti pawó Sporty
Pèlú zero shorty
(Young lady, come to the coast
Hasten up, let me profess love to you
I just won from SportyBet
With little to no stress)
Mo ti mu one, I'm on two
Mo ní k'ón lo gbé round three wá
Sèdí benbe lébè
Big Vado
Oya, twe, twe, twe...
(I have gulped the first bottle of drink
Currently I'm on the second bottle
While I demand they bring me the third round
Dear, set your buttocks to my delight
I am Big Vado
Therefore, twerk, twerk, twerk...)
Hello! Hello!
Madam you are hot
Shey we fit link up
Inside my helicopter?
Hello! Hello!
Wá bámi fagbó o
Wá bámi sáyó
Two, four, seven o
(Hello! Hello!
Madam, you are appealing
Can we hold a conversation
Inside my private jet?
Hello! Hello!
Let's smoke together
Let's drink together
Every time of the day)
Oh baby, sòrò fún mi, sòrò pa
Jé n rówó ná, kí n rówó fi se fàájí o
Sáré bá n yin 1 million kan si paddy mi
Oya, twe, twe, twe...
(Oh baby, talk to me, talk freely
I hope to spend money to attain entertainment
Dear friend, please transfer some million more to me
Therefore, twerk, twerk, twerk...)
Note: Contrary to the philistine opinion that Kizz Daniel's Twe Twe lacks meaning and thematic relevance, it should be noted that the song is centered around the Nigerian culture of partying and hedonism. It is a norm in Nigeria for the high-class and especially, the party lovers, to spend for the purpose of merrymaking. The adoption of the talking drum leans towards the music of the Yoruba people and it's cultural significance
