Write Afrofusion/alté male vocal lyrics for a track set at 122 BPM, D major, laid-back but subtly upbeat. Core instrumentation: interlocking djembe and electronic 808 patterns, slapping melodic bass, highlife palm-wine guitar arpeggios, warbly psychedelic synth pads, shekere shakers, and soft kalimba accents, with vocals that switch smoothly between conversational pidgin-inflected rap verses and warm falsetto choruses. Lyric theme: the giddy, unplanned magic of running into an old flame at a Lagos beach bonfire after dark, trading inside jokes, wondering if you should rekindle what you once had, weaving imagery of salt breeze, flickering tiki torches, cold palm wine, and the distant hum of street food vendors. Emotion: playful, nostalgic, soft yearning mixed with cool, unhurried swagger.

歌词

[Intro]
[Verse]
Saw your shadow by the tide
Softly glowing side to side
You dey drink your palm wine cold
Just like in the days of old
Tiki torches light your face
We dey back for this same place
[Pre-Chorus]
Salt breeze in your hair
Smoke is in the air
Suya scent is drifting sweet
Sand beneath our naked feet
[Chorus]
Is it fate tonight?
Sparking up the light
Underneath the moon
Singing our old tune
Wave is crashing slow
Baby we should know
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, the fire burns
As the water turns
How the spirit yearns
What the heart learns
[Verse]
You laugh at my silly joke
Coughing on the bonfire smoke
You say I still get my pride
But I have got nothing to hide
No dey do me like stranger
This your love is sweet danger
[Pre-Chorus]
Salt breeze in your hair
Smoke is in the air
Suya scent is drifting sweet
Sand beneath our naked feet
[Chorus]
Is it fate tonight?
Sparking up the light
Underneath the moon
Singing our old tune
Wave is crashing slow
Baby we should know
[Bridge]
Kalimba plays a gentle song
We have been apart too long
Lagos night is warm and deep
Promises we ought to keep
[Chorus]
Is it fate tonight?
Sparking up the light
Underneath the moon
Singing our old tune
Wave is crashing slow
Baby we should know
[Outro]
