EYE ÀDÀBÀ || Àsá | A Song Of Hope And A New Dawn 🇺🇦🇺🇦

Eye Àdàbà is a very poetic piece of music from Asa. The music symbolizes many things. Performing this piece at this time, at the start of the new week, with the ongoing crisis happening in our world today, just feels right. And I hope you find true meaning to really take hold of some hope in this song.

Eye Àdàbà means a Dove.
A Dove in my culture symbolizes hope and all good things.
Asa sings about waking up early at dawn and talks about how she chooses to see hope in the face of none.
She uses "dawn" to symbolize a start of something new, a day with a potential for good things.
She sings and prays that in the likeness of the gentleness and the peace the symbol of the dove brings, that the hope of a new dawn will bring such calmness to her soul.

As we start the new week, I hope the week brings for us great things and our hopes are fulfilled.

We also hope for peace in the nations of the world.
As the dove (Eye Àdàbà) symbolizes peace and tranquillity, we stand and hope for peace in Ukraine as they go through these turbulent times.
We also hope we come to a point in the world where we can live with some sense of togetherness as ONE human race.

Lyrics

Oju mo ti mo, Oju mo ti mo mi –I wake up at dawn, as it dawns upon me
Ni le yi o o, Oju mo ti mo, mo ri re o –In this Land, it’s dawn, I see hope…

Eye adaba, eye adaba –Dove, dove
Eye adaba ti n fo l’oke l’oke- Dove that flies far above the sky
Wa ba le mi o, o-Come, descend on me
Oju mo ti mo, mo ri re o –It’s dawn, I see hope

Ojumo ti mo ojumo ti momini ile yi o – It is day break/morning has broken for me in this house
Ojumo ti mo.. mo ri re o – Morning has broken, it is well with me
Eye adaba eye adaba – The dove, the dove
Eye adaba ti fo lokeloke – The dove that flies high in the sky
Wa a balemi o – Come land on me
E wi kin gbo se – So say it so I can hear
Eye adaba ti fo lokeloke loke ode orun – The dove that flies high near heaven
Wa ba le mi o o…Ojumo ti mo mo ri re o – Come land on me, morning has broken and it is well with me (my soul)

Do have a wonderful week full of strength, hope and fulfillment.
