Afri-tunes week #110, hello everyone on this beautiful music community. It's another exciting time and moment to share with you our African music styles and genres for your watching, listening and relaxation. How are you all doing today? How is the heat in your area? I believe you are moving on strong. Glory to God for His daily faithfulness to us.
On this edition, I decided to do an original song I released online two years ago. The is birthed from my heart of gratitude to God. It is titled "Godiya gareka" which means thanks to you in English Language. I chose to play it live on the keyboard. There are many thanksgiving songs, but this is one which has entered my heart to present this week.
Enjoy.
Lyrics
Godiya gareka na kawo
Godiya gareka na kawo
Godiya gareka na kawo
Godiya gareka na kawo
(Repeat)
Yabo ya dace da Kai
A cikin birnin sihiyona
Ya Allah gareka dukan halitta zasu tattaro
Kana kula da kasa
Kana bada ruwan sama
Kasa tayi laushi amfanin gona suka tsira
In ka bude bakin ka
Albarkunka sai zubowa
Alherin wucewar ka farin ciki ta rufe tudai ai
Kana yin abubuwan ban mamaki
Bakina ba zaya iya lisaftawa ba
Gani na zo da zuciyar godiya
Da kuma kalmar godiya zuwa gareka...a...a
Chorus
Interlude
Godiya
Ehh godiya gareka na kawo.
English translation
Thanks to you I bring
You deserve the praise
In the city of Zion
Unto you shall all creation gather
You take care of the land
You bring rain
The land softens and plants grow
When you open your mouth blessings flow
The hills rejoice in your grace
You do amazing things
My mouth cannot mention all
I have come with a grateful heart
With words of thanksgiving to you.
