ÀWÉ BY ASA(A COVER)

Hello, fellow hivers. I hope you all are having a wonderful day.

This is my second presentation in this Aftitunes community and I am excited to bring you all this wonderful tune titled Àwé by the goddess, Asa. Although, I'm not sure how wonderful my performance of the song is. Lol.

This song is entirely in Asa's native tongue which is the Yoruba language, indigenous to the Southwest region of Nigeria.

If I'm being entirely honest, I'm not quite sure what exactly this song means and the exact message it passes across. Sill, I love the song a lot.

I love the chord progression and the subtlety and gentleness of the instruments. It is such a wonderful display of vocal skill by Asa also. I hope you like it.

Here's a link to the original video.

Here are the lyrics.

Here is the translation of the lyrics to English.
Friend, where have you been?

Why have we been looking for you?

Lets know where you have been

The Aunty living in the house close by

Came to this house

Since three days ago

She Said , she's

She's pregnant for you

Two month pregnancy

She is pregnant for you

Waheed The child of Sekina

Child of Muyina

Child of Mohammed

The Older lady pregnant for you

She's old enough to give birth to you

You of all people

The Older Lady pregnant for you

She Could Give Birth To you (Older than you), she gave birth

She gave birth, she (the child) took after you, legs

The hair, You're are black in complexion

The baby's fair, How come?

Waheed The child of Sekina

Child of Muyina

Child of Mohammed

Come and watch a fight at the palace

of the king of Ejigbo. Husband and Wife both

They fought at the king's palace

Its Waheed the Child of Muyina

The Child of Sekina

He made me see hell

Trouble Everywhere

The Mother that gives birth to his Mother

is my mother and I have a child of my own

I'm nursing my child now

Dont leak my secret

A good child needs only be cautioned a little

it will become whole inside him

Whole whole
