Cultural Festival Lyrics

It was cultural festival in my country

And the Minister for Culture said

Bring me the Reggae Gospel Man

** What do we want with the gospel

Give us the juju and the masquerades

It’s cultural festival nothing to do with the gospel

But I turned and said to him

Christianity may not be a part of our ancient history

But it is certainly our culture

For long time we’ve been with Jesus

Christianity has become a culture

Isaac Abraham and Yeshua

They are the ancestors now

My generation never see a juju priest

Except in my home video

Long time we’ve been with Jesus

Grandmama was a chorister

And great grandmama was a deaconess

Kareyon bula

Kareyon bula

Oneye kangaru kenge meri pege lowa lowa

Oneye o oneye o oneye o

(Keleya Chukwu nenye o) Kareyon bula

And when you think about it

You will remember songs that your grandmama taught you

To show you long time we’ve been with Jesus

And by the way this is one of them

A song my grandmama taught me

(Ah Chukwu nenye) Kareyon bula

(Chukwu nenye) Kareyon bula

Oneye kangaru kenge meri pege lowa lowa

Oneye o oneye o oneye o

(Keleya keleya) Kareyon bula

Kareyon bula

Oneye kangaru kenge meri pege lowa lowa

Oneye o oneye o oneye o

(Chukwu nenye) Kareyon bula

(Eh Chukwu nenye) Kareyon bula

Oneye kangaru kenge meri pege lowa lowa

Oneye o oneye o oneye o

(Keleya Chukwu nenye) Kareyon bula

(Chukwu nenye) Kareyon bula

Oneye kangaru kenge meri pege lowa lowa

Oneye o oneye o oneye o

Kareyon bula

Kareyon bula

Oneye kangaru kenge meri pege lowa lowa

Oneye o oneye o oneye o

Kareyon bula

Kareyon bula

Oneye kangaru kenge meri pege lowa lowa

Oneye o oneye o oneye o

The blood that Jesus shed on Calvary

More than enough for me

No more juju neither no fetish thing

Oh mamama eh

Kareyon bula

(Chukwu nenye) Kareyon bula

Oneye kangaru kenge meri pege lowa lowa

Oneye o oneye o oneye o
