Orilando
Orilando
Traditional Song
In the Cameroon city
Where I was born
A butcher man
I love so dear
He promised me
To marry me
Orilando, Orilando!
Orilando, Orilando,
Orilando, Orilando,
Orilando, Orilando,
Orilando, Orilando!
Notes
"I often wonder if it was not 'Hurry and do' that was morphed into 'Orilando'." -Nyango
