Hiveopenmic#157 ~` LARA GEORGE - DANSAKI ( COVER)

Hello Music Lovers ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It's week #157 of Hiveopenmic. My name is @rukkie. This week's theme
"Al Dios Que Adoramos" (The God We Worship) was chosen by @williansmarquez and I will be presenting a song by a Nigerian artist named Lara George and the song is titled "Dansaki".

Dansaki in Hausa language means “I worship you”. It is a song of adoration to the King of kings, Lord of lords and to praise and glorify the name of the all-powerful God.

Though “Dansaki” in Yoruba, which was borrowed from Hausa, means to hail and say you are celebrating the person. It simply means you are celebrating God and it was borne out of gratitude.

I chose this song because it contains powerful lyrics which expresses how I acknowledge the power of God in my life and I can't thank God enough for all He has done for me. I just want to say thank you for everything and I will continue to say Dansaki re Baba ( I Hail You Father).

Some part of the lyrics is in Yoruba Language, I will be giving a little interpretation by the side.

The lyrics of the song is given below ;

Refrain:
I’m acknowledging You for who You are
For what You’ve done – In my life
I’m acknowledging You for who You are
Dansaki re, dansaki re Baba (We hail you, we hail you Father)

In my life You are the Miracle Worker
You are King of Kings ,You are the Waymaker
In my life You are the Prince of Peace
Dansaki re, dansaki re Baba (We hail you, we hail you Father)

(Refrain)

Ti mo ba f’ijo si mo dansaki re
So when I start a dance I dansaki re
Ti mo ba f’ijo si mo dansaki re
Dansaki re, dansaki re Baba

(Refrain)

Baba ooo, Baba x4. (Father)
Even in my heart, Even in my home
Jehovah be lifted in my life today x2
Baba oooo, Baba x4

Chant: Baba. (Father)
