AFRI-TUNES WEEK 104 || CHIKE - NAKUPENDA || COVER BY WEALTHWESS

Afritunes community week 104! It’s such a good day to present my entry for this week’s event but before i proceed i am wealthwess by name and i’m sending greetings to every man and woman of this great Hive & Afritunes community. This week i’ll be presenting a cover of a song that captured my heart a long time ago by Chike a Nigerian singer featuring Ric Hassani and the title of the song is Nakupenda. However, Nakupenda is a phrase in Swahili, this is a language that is spoken in many East African countries like Uganda, Kenya etc. In english Nakupenda means “I love You” a word most of us understand perfectly or been confessed to before. But one thing is that, i like how Chike made this song so beautiful and most especially by mixing 3 languages together in this song, English, Swahili and Igbo, a perfect combo if you asked me. That’s being said, this is an acapella cover but i do hope you’ll find it to your liking and thanks for stopping by.

Nakupenda / Lyrics

I know you looking at me
You watch me like T.V
You looking at me three times in a row
If you want to say hello
Just say hello
I think you look so pretty
You look like superghetti
Like you are needing some love
I don’t know but I've seen that look before
And if you don’t say hello
I will say hello

Nakupenda, nakupenda
Nakupenda, nakupenda o
Oh, my baby, isom aga
Oh baby, isom aga, oyo
Nakupenda nakupenda oh
Nakupenda nakupenda eh
Oh, my baby, isom aga
My baby, isom aga oyo

How will you know
That I'm the one for you
That you're the one for me
If you don't say hello
Just say hello
