Under the Moonlight 

Part 1

The glowing light
Beauty of the night
Shinning beautifully in the sky
Just for a better view up I sty

Earth’s natural satellite
Radiating its light
Infants eyes held up
Children playing in sets
A night for ancient stories!

A beauty to behold
Even cowards turn out bold
Renewed strength for wrestlers
Young maidens turn gossipers!

Dancing fire under the black pots
Blazing up in its spots
Women humming happily
Dinner tonight comes with euphoria
Under the moonlight,
People as bright as light!

Part 2

In its perfect spherical form
The light beam on earth
Darkness gives way
The earth is rejoicing!
The distant sound
Of the hunters’ gun
Inner forest in disarray
Holding the gun with pride
The moon shall lead us!

Under the mango tree,
Glittering are the juicy fruits
Birds chirping melodiously
What to give a melodious night?

Earth in its perfect shape
Night of lovers!
Secret pass from abode
What to give for a glimpse of you?
Under the tree of life
Waiting for love
Oh Alani, the beat of my heart!
Nothing to trade the night for.
