Blacksmith - Alafia

Have you felt the iron smell?

When Blacksmith chief hits his bell

Have you heard iron sound?

When Blacksmith chief comes to town

And he comes to dance once a year

None of a chance if you don’t fear

Don’t fear

We all know that the blacksmith’s soul

Is full of good and evil

Working people’s future

On his sacred anvil

And he comes to dance once a year

None of a chance if you don’t fear

Don’t fear

Words in the oath that the older worker takes

Shake our bodies in graceful earthquakes

There is danger on his mood

Could destroy our neighborhood

Dogs, beans, hair and wood

Join cocoyam of his food
