Afritunes #31: African Queen By 2face (Cover) By Khaleesii

Hello everyone, welcome to Afritunes week 31.

For a while now, I have been enjoying singing acapella because I feel very comfortable with just my voice, this started when my laptop stopped working so I had no choice but right now, I can’t even imagine anything else.

Anyways, For this week I decided to sing an acapella version of a song titled “African queen” by 2face, I am sure every Nigerian grew up to this iconic song and I just wanted to be some sort of reminder of maybe your childhood.

Anytime I hear this song, I usually smile and sing along because of how beautiful it is; I feel like it’s one of those song that will never not be nice to my ears.

Now, today I decided to sing just the first verse, these days I prefer singing verses because it is shorter and people can watch them; I feel if it’s longer most people wouldn’t.

Oh well, I do hope you enjoy my rendition of this beautiful song even though I wouldn’t do it as much justice, thank you for watching.

Yeah, yeah, you are my african queen, oooh lord, oooh lord
Just like the sun, lights up the earth, you light up my life
The only one, I’ve ever seen with a smile so bright
And just yesterday, you came around my way
And changed my whole scenery with your astonishing beauty
Ah, you coulda make a brother sing,
You ordinary thing, a supernatural being
I know you are just brighter than the moon
Brighter than the star, I love you just the way you are
And you are my African Queen, the girl of my dreams.
You take me where I’ve never been
You make my heart go ting-a-ling-a-ling, oh ahh
You are my African Queen, the girl of my dreams
And you remind me of a thing
And that is the African beauty yahhh
Yahh oooo you are my african queen, oh lord, oo lord hmm
Out of a million you stand as one
The outstanding one
I look into your eyes, girl what I see is paradise
Yeah you captivated my soul, now everyday I want you more o o oo
How can I deny this feeling I’m feeling inside
Ey oh no one can never take your place
Can never take your space,
Thats a fact I cannot erase
And you, you are the one that makes me smile
Make me float like a boat upon the nile.
Oooo ooooo yaahhh yahhh oooo
You are my african queen and I know, oh yes I know hhn
You are my african queen and I know, see I know
See I know what I am feeling in my heart and in my soul
Oh I know that it is love
And I know that this love was surely sent from up above
Cause you’re the only one I think of
You are my african queen
And I know that this means that you’re the only one that I will serve
I’ll give you my heart, my love, my body and my money
Every other thing you think of
Who could think of anything better than you
Who could think of ever hurting you
Sacrifice my all, I’ll give it all to you
Cause you are my african queen
For real
And you are my African Queen, the girl of my dreams.
You take me where I’ve never been
You make my heart go ting-a-ling-a-ling, oh ahh
You are my African Queen, the girl of my dreams
And you remind me of a thing
And that is the African beauty yahhh
So black, so beautiful
I love you, I love you, I love you,
Munyemo, I love you, I love you, I love you,
Munyemo, I love you, I love you,
Ooohhh yeah, my African Queen,
I love you, I love you
