AFRITUNES WEEK 78/OBIM BY PC LAPEZ

Hello African music lovers. This is your usually boy @ernesto6402 and I will be participating in this week's Afri Tunes contest. Over the month I had issues with my device, that explains why I have been away for quite a long time. But I am back, and I will will be participating in this weeks contest. For this week I will be doing a very interesting song by PC Lapez tittled *Obim*.

Obim is an interesting old Igbo love song, but for my entry this week I will be doing PZ Lapez version of song. PC Lapez was able to convert this interesting Igbo love song to an interesting high-life adding some interesting verses. Today, I will be free styling Lapez own version of Obim.

PZ Lapez is a well known contemporary Nigerian high-life singer and producer, and I am big fan of his. I am a big fan of African music, most especially high-life. That explains why I love PZ Lapez style of music. Beyond the Style of the music, I am also in love with the beautiful lyrics of this very song. Obim is a song that depicts what true love should be, it a song that encourages us to hold tight to love irrespective of the challenges we might face is in the process. It's indeed a beautiful song, and I am happy to shear it with you today.

Obim as produce by Lapez is an Igbo high-life with Pidgin English verses. And will be doing that exact version. I just hope you enjoy my style. Love you all!

LYRICS
Nmiri maram m
Ebe m na acho obim
Nmiri mara m
Eve m na acho Obim
Nmiri mara m
O mara m mana owutehim
Ebe m na acho obi m
Obi Chere m ahakwaram x2

If I get money na me and you go spend am
If I get owo na me and you go spend am
I leave you go obodo Oyibo Ka nga bute ike o
Nbata emezi e if Ka esi eme ya nu
Go tell my honey say I am coming home
Go tell my asa say I am coming home
Cause e no dey easy at all to get a fine baby
Ife di mna riwem ego

Nmiri maram m
Ebe m na acho obim

Obi Chere m ahakwaram x2

I get one baby I no go call her name
I get one baby I no go call her name
My baby sabi cook
My baby sabi dress
My baby no be slay queen

Me and you we go born kings and queens
Me and you we go born Prince and Princess
Me and you together
Together forever
Ife di nma riwe m ego

Nmiri maram m
Ebe m na acho obim
Nmiri mara m
Eve m na acho Obim
Nmiri mara m
O mara m mana owutehim
Ebe m na acho obi m
