Hive Open Mic Week 219 || Eye Adaba (cover) By ashiru

▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Hello, Hive open mic community. I hope we are all doing good. My name is @ashiru, Welcome to hive open mic week 219 and I'm so excited to be here. The theme for this week is Traditional Music, today I'll be presenting a cover of my favorite traditional song by ASA title Eye Asaba.
This song Eye Adaba by ASA is written and sung in Yoruba language. Eyé Àdabà simply means Dove. I personally loved this song a lot and the song is a reminder that as long that there's life there is always hope, new blessing and new possibilities around the corner, so we should never give up on life. Dove is mostly associated with peace, hope and new beginnings. I love ASA song, most of her song are like poetry and the lyrics of this song encourages me to wake up every day believe in myself, choose to see hope, see joy and blessings in everything that I do.

LYRICS:

IN YORUBA:
Oju mo ti mo
Oju mo ti mo mi
Ni le yi o, o
Oju mo ti mo, mo ri re o
Eye adaba, eye adaba
Eye adaba ti n fo lo ke lo ke
Wa ba le mi o, o
Oju mo ti mo mo ri re o

IN ENGLISH
It's a new day
I've seen a new day
In this land
It's a new day,I've seen joy
Dove, dove
The dove which flies up in the sky
Come and descend upon me
It's a new day, I've seen joy
