This is a good old Nigerian song by the masked saxophonist and singer Lagbaja. I think it fits well into our theme for the week AMANTE.
The story in the song is one of a long-distance, long-time love that has a lot of memories wrapped up in it.
I say song distance cause the lyrics goes: "where ever I go, where ever you are baby, bay you're never far away, you're always on my mind."
I say long time love because the male voice and the female voice both say "All alone when I think about the good times that we shared together"
LYRICS
Hmmm all alone
When i think about the good times that we shared together baby
I cannot understand how we ever let things fall apart hmm
Shipankpala Iyawo o towo osi bobe shipankpala
