, and it's beautiful to be here again for this week's Afritunes Contest. For this week, I will be performing an amazing song; I will be performing the song Alleluia by Johnny Drille.
The song that I will be performing today is an amazing duet by Johnny Drille and Simi, but I will be performing it alone, doing both Adekunle and Simi's part. It was a challenge though, given that I am not able to replicate Simi's female voice, but it came out not so bad and I am certain you will enjoy it.
It is a love song; but beyond that, it paint's a picture of two young people who were secretly crushing on themselves, only to realise that they are both in love with each other. I have always loved this very song because of the story it tells, but beyond that, I love it because of the two artists that collaborated to produce it. Both Simi and Adekunle are my favourite artist; thus, I am interested in any song they both appear in.
Original Lyrics
[Verse 1 – Johnny Drille]
I really like you and it’s true
There is only one, just you
I find it hard to say
I wish you knew I am on your instagram all day, Stalking you
You in my life, its all I’m hoping for
If you go be mine, yeh, na forever more
I wan talk my mind and say how I feel inside
But I fear you won’t, you won’t feel the same for me
[Chorus – Johnny Drille]
Oh if she loves me, Halleluya
If she say she love me, Halleluya
Oh if she loves me, Halleluya
If she say she love me, Halleluya
[Verse 2 – Simi]
I see the way he, the way he looks at me
I know the things he, the things he does for me
Boy if I could read your mind, I wonder if I’ll be inside
If you could be mine, I feel like I’ve been drinking wine
If you call me baby, me I no go mind o
I know you want me baby, make you talk your mind o
You see that I’ve been waiting, me I no go lie o, me I no go lie o
Maybe I’m just crazy, but...
