SERENADE: Liberian Girl's Got Some Serious Attention from Rough n Smooth

Liberian Girl's got some attention, alright. First it was the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson, twice (sort of):  (1) in 1989 (uploaded in 2009) -- current count: 13,864,409 YouTube Views; and, (2) in a 2013 HD version (821,367 views, as of now). Now, Rough n Smooth, who hip and hop, have come calling from Ghana -- with a full-blast serenade (current count: 44,797 views).

Two suitors, two styles, then. The one refined, finely. The other gung-ho ("smoothly" so, so to speak): with unrestrained intent. Same difference? The girl always decides. But there are two different girls here, seems to me. Right?

So both win? O let's see. Here's Rough n Smooth's piece (2015):

A Chorus Michael Jackson Never Danced To

Wani ua ua ki (ki) pezi

Mwendo wako wa ma (ma) ringo

Kiuno chako che (che) mba mba
Wani ua ua,
Wani ua ua ki (ki) penzi
Wani ua ua!
