The elegance in “My Dear” lies in Asa’s restraint. She doesn’t cry, she doesn’t shout, she doesn’t dramatise. Instead, she chooses clarity, a calm but piercing honesty that cuts deeper than any loud emotion could.
She addresses her lover with softness, and that opening alone tells you everything. It is affectionate but weary, intimate but heavy. It carries the weight of someone trying to protect what’s left of her heart while still offering a gentle truth.

Ojo pe, ojo nla
Ero de, ero ya
Ore, ara, molebi, won ba mi yo
Aso-ebi, ankara
Gbogbo oti, ariya
Ko e ti pe o
Without my love
Ireti pi pe lo m'okan sa ko lo
Abi go-slow mu o l'ona Falomo
O de gbe okada, ko yara
Okan mi wa l'ona
My dear, where are you my dear?
Are you coming?
Where are you?
My love, hope you get here soon?
I've been waiting
Where are you?
Where did we go wrong
You and I
We've been together for so long
And now you changed your mind
We've been excitedly telling everyone
Today is the best day of our life
Ireti pi pe lo m'okan sa ko lo
Abi go-slow mu o l'ona Falomo
O de gbe keke, ko yara
Okan mi wa l'ona
My dear, where are you my dear?
Are you coming?
Where are you?
My love, hope you get here soon
I've been waiting
Where are you?
Tomorrow I'll wake from this dream
Tomorrow I'll wake from this dream
If I'll hold this then believe two signs
And I'll find someone else next time
Are you coming?
My dear, where are you my dear?
Are you coming? (Are you coming?)
Where are you?
My love, hope you get here soon
I've been waiting (Are you coming?)
Where are you?
