Lyrics Batonebo - Odetta Hartman

It's true - I could have done better
But I won't be bullied to fully take the blame
You came - into my body like a spirit
So I have determined your proper name

Batonebo
Leave me be
I'll give you roses and violets
If you stop inflicting violence on me

Forgive - my cancerous emotions
Here I offer these devotions to appease
Now please - da tik'bit
Filter out of me
So I can drown out this supernatural scream

Batonebo
Set me free
I'll sing you iavnana vardo batonebo

Batonebo
Leave me be
I'll give you roses and violets
If you stop inflicting violence on me
