ijokijo ni ijo asiwin,  ayo kayo ni ayo didirin



oh boy where you hear this word,

anyways I would try to interpret it as best as I can,

first one - A mad person dance to any music, that is they do not know any difference,

2nd one - A person that is always smiling has a lose screw somewhere upstairs. I remember going into my local beer parlour, and there was this beautiful lady on her laptop tapping away. Nothing spoil, I tried making eye contact with her and she smiled back. Then I said to my self this girl is probably interested in me, but what I later discovered was even when I was not looking at her she was still smiling and grinning under her breath, I monitored her for a few more minutes looking at her when she was not looking at me and I came to the conclusion she has a loose screw upstairs. The second proverb is applicable to this girl.

The dance of a fool is definitely crazy,
The joy of a retarded one can be inconsequential.
