Every season awaits our maidens
For the pride of womanhood
Shall unveil her true colour
Colour of her swinging hips
Colour of her moving hands
Colour of her moving lips…
Yes… colours that tells her story
Of whom she is and where she comes from.

Mboppo dance shall unveiled her colours
So shall Ndok Ufok Ebe add hers
Asian Ubo Ikpa shall be there
So shall Asian Mbre Iban These, Akwa Abasi Ibom shall rejoice.

Mboppo dance shall unveiled her colours
On Udua Mboppo day she shall come to town
Her confined freedom she must celebrate
That the men folks would take a look
For a life partner they would choose.

Ndok Ufok Ebe shall add hers,
For ones in a year she would choose her date,
In folk songs of dance and complain,
She would alert the entire community
The plight of maltreatment by her husband

Asian Ubo Ikpa shall be there,
So shall Asian Mbre Iban In combined colour of songs and dancing,
They would shared in united of purpose
A word in songs they came to remind

Colour of our dance, displayed in it richness
Our maidens has found their unique voice
To tell our heritage in the pride of their displays
