Hello Music Lovers ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's week #54 on #Afritunes. I am glad to be here this week to present a cover of Adekunle Gold song titled "Ire" which literally means Goodness.
The song gives a symbolic summary of his life experiences and journey to starting his music career.
Before he started his journey, he cut off all ties or relationships he had. So, they would never drag him to the dust or pull him down. Nevertheless, he did not realize that what he was looking for was with him already.
People sometimes believe that good will always find them in whatever situation they find themselves in and most times we don't know that we already have what we are looking for.
"Ire" identifies that everything you are seeking is after you,it is only if you are aware of what you possess that you will find goodness.
The lyrics of the song is given below ;
The grass is greener on the other side
That's what I thought before I took the ride
I burned my bridges so I never look back
But if I had know the life I was
searching for is looking me right in the eye ooo
if I had know the life I was searching for was already my own oo
Ire bènilê ooo, (ire ayo)
Ire ire ire
ire ire ayo
Onpemi oo (Onpemi kin ma bo o)
Oni kin ma bo (ire o)
Oni ki ma bo
ire
Ire ire ire (ire ooo)
ire ire ayo
Onpemi oo (ire, ayo)
Oni kin ma bo (oni kin ma bo)
Oni ki ma bo (oni kin ma bo)
ire
The grass is greener when you water the ground
That's what I found when I took the ride
I realised the mountain I have been
climbing is nothing but standing oo
I didn't know I already had the answer
No I didn't know
For if I had know the life know (if I had know) the
life I was searching for was looking me right in the eye oo
If I had know the life I was searching for was already my own
Ire ire ire (ire o)
ire ire ayo
Onpemi oo (Onpemi o)
Oni kin ma bo (oni kin ma bo)
Oni ki ma bo (Oni kin ma bo)
ire
Ire ire ire (ire ooo)
ire ire ayo
Onpemi oo (its calling out to me dekunle it's calling out to me)
Oni kin ma bo (oni kin ma bo)
Oni ki ma bor (oni kin ma bo) (ire o)
ire
Ire ire oo ire ayo
Onpemi kin ma bo (ire)
Edami shatokun fun Ese Mi
Jen pada sile
Majen sin won waye
Majen rin arin ra...
Alantere ooo
Ire she gudu meje
Oro shepete

Ire Fi le poti o Fi ona roka
Kin ma bo (Ire)

Some part of the song is in Yoruba language and a brief summary of the meaning is given below;
Ire ire ire (Goodness Goodness Goodness)
Ire ire ayo (Goodness)
O npe mioo (Is calling out to me)
O ni kin ma bo (It’s telling me to come back)
O ni kin ma bo nile (It’s telling me to come back home)
Ire ire ire (Goodness Goodness Goodness)
Ire ire ayo (Goodness)
