Hello everyone of Afri-tunes community, so sorry my post is coming in late. I hope we're all doing great.
Without further Ado, this is my entry for the afri-tunes week #53 music event, and I'll be presenting a song by Tope Alabi titled "Yes and Amen."
This song is a Yoruba song so I understand some might have difficulties in understanding the lyrics please bear with me, there's English subtitle in the lyrics section though.
Maybe this is the first song of Tope Alabi that I'll be presenting on hive and Afri-tunes. I love her songs, but due to the language, I don't want to do alot of Yoruba songs so that I can carry the non Yoruba's along aswell.
This song is a very popular song in this side of the country and most times used in churches during Parise and worship sections. Personally I love it, most especially the verse I sang, the song has many verses but I chose my favourites two verses.
According to the song, anyone that does not know God knows nothing likewise anyone that do not see you and I as the glorious handwork of the Almighty knows nothing aswell.
lyrics
You created the sea
O da okun, O da oosa
Wonderful performer that used water for wonders
Alara to fi omi se osho
You only knows where fishes pass through to get inside the Sea
Iwo to mo ibi eja gba do odo
A covenant that uses Salt to out taste the Sea
Majemu to bu iyo ja okun
Sand is the earth
Iyanrin te ka aiye
He calmed the darkness
O da okunkun biri mu
You created Light!
Oga imole oo
The Heaven has no door
Oju orun o ni ilekun oo
He lives in Heaven and on Earth, without travelling
Ogbe bi mejeeji, lai rin irin ajo
He brings nature into existence
O mu eda gba inu eda waiye
How Life/heart metamorphose, one does not know
Ibi emi ngba lo ba, eni kan o mo
The Greatest! Whoever that doesn’t seek you
Ajulo o eni ti o wa o
Can not know anything
ko le mo nkankan
Whoever that doesn’t have God, has nothing
Eni ti o ni o, ko ni nkankan (x2)
We are His signs

You are the one that makes the World exist
Beni ire loje ki aiye wa o
