What's up my people how wu na dey...
This is to your boy dprincy, also known as DMS which means D-princy Musical Studios.. On this week AFRI-TUNES week #8. I am going to be covering a song by Brymo titled Banuso. Banuso is a yoruba word which mean Talk to yourself.
This is song is not an old song neither is it new. But the major reason i choose this song is to remind us of a pattern of yoruba instrumental. How soft and touching they can be.
Moreso, The words, the rhymes, the interpretations etc are just a whole lot of lessons.

Bá’núsọ Lyrics by Brymo
Translation in English
Needle will go
Needle will g
K′ó nà okùn ó tó dí ò
We will not meet them
We will not meet them
Those that don't want us to get there
Tell yourself
Bá′núso
Do not tell anyone
Tell yourself
Bá′núso
Má b′enìyan só
The tears will dry
The tears will dry
Sadness will turn into laughter
Beloved
We know of our beloved
We are oblivious to the one who loves us
Bá′núso
Tell yourself
Má b′enìyan só
Tell yourself
Bá′núso
Do not tell anyone
The person that will dine with the devil
Must have a very long spoon
One that misbehaves
Will be disgraced
Diplomacy is the key to live
Bá′núso
Bá′núso
Do not tell anyone
Bá′núso
Tell yourself
Má b′enìyan só
Dear friends
Come hear this
Some words are brewing inside of me
Should i share it
Should I?
You should tell oneself
Bá′núso
I won't share it with anyone
Bá′núso
Bá′núso
Do not tell anyone
Bá′núso
Tell yourself
Má b′enìyan só
