Afri-tunes#71 ~` Barry Jhay - Aiye (COVER)

Hello Music Lovers ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It's week #71 on @afri-tunes . I am @rukkie and for this week, I will be presenting a song by a Nigerian Artist named Barry Jhay and the song is titled "Aiye" (which translates to Life or The World).

I chose this song because it talks about how life is not as hard as many of us paints it and how some people destroy others all for vanity. Personally, I'm not one to tell people how to live their lives but I feel sad whenever I see people doing virtually anything to win even if it means at the detriment of the happiness of someone close to you.

We all know that in this life, we only live once and no matter the amount of wealth or riches we must have gathered, we are going to leave them behind the day we die. It might be a tough pill to swallow but no one lives forever so at some point we will die, though we all pray to live long and not die young.

The song further talks about friends,how true friends should be happy for each other because if one person succeeds, the success belongs to the both of them. So, Instead of hating on your friend's success why don't you be genuinely happy for them so that your own turn would come faster. Try supporting your friends instead of mocking them behind their backs and when they succeed despite your mockery,you start getting Jealous and looking for ways to bring them down.

The phrase " oju orun to ẹyẹ fo lai f'ara kan'ra wọn" literally means " The sky is wide enough for all birds to fly even without them touching/obstructing one another" which means that the sky is big enough for everyone. You don't have to obstruct others all because you want to have it all.

I think the main question here should be "What legacy do you leave behind after death? What do people say about you when you're gone? These are some of the questions we should always ask ourselves as we go about our daily lives. The message in this song is enough to make one have a rethink and try to do better. Life is too short, no one knows tomorrow, we should rather be asking for God's blessings,avoid trouble and make the most of the little time we have in life.

This song is one of my all-time favorites and it's mostly in Yoruba Language, so I hope you enjoy my presentation.
