Hello, music aficionados! I’m @diduoflagos and this is my entry for Afritunes week 114

I'm thrilled to share with you a cover that's particularly close to my heart. I've taken on the soulful and vibrant "Play Na Play" by the incredibly talented Nigerian artist, Omawumi. This song is a rich tapestry of African rhythms and melodies, and it's been an absolute joy to dive into its depths.

"Play Na Play" is a song that encapsulates the spirit of African music. It's a celebration of culture, artistry, and the storytelling that music can convey. In my rendition, I've aimed to honor the original while also bringing my own flavor to the performance.

As I sing, I feel connected to the roots of this music, to the heritage it represents, and to the universal language of rhythm and harmony that it speaks. This song, featuring the legendary Angélique Kidjo, is a testament to the power of collaboration and the beauty of diverse musical traditions coming together.

So, I invite you to watch, listen, and let the music move you. Whether it makes you want to dance, reflect, or simply enjoy the sounds, I hope this cover of "Play Na Play" resonates with you as much as it does with me.

LYRICS

Play na play and joke na joke
Joke na person name
Dey no dey use e crocodile
Dey take dey do playmate
You suppose to know yourself
Wen u see person wey no straight
You have to read the signs before it
Before it leads to chaos
The many things u dey see so
Should make ur eyes to clear
The many things u dey see so
Shud tell u things u need to hear
The many tins u dey see so
Shud make ur eyes to clear
The many tins u dey see so
Shud tell you tin u tins u need to hear
It is better to look before you leap
If oyibo dey hear me
Dey no go die for horrow film
U go see road wey light no dey
U go wan follow
Or u go like to chew pass
Wetin u fit swallow
Don't get me wrong I no d will of God Is supreme
But even Jesus sef na parables he talk o ah
You have to look before you leap
No answers for the weak
And na who dey ask for road
Na him no dey loss ooowwoooooohhhh
Play na play and joke na joke
Joke na person name
Dey no dey use e crocodile
Dey take dey do playmate
You suppose to know yourself
Wen u see person wey no straight
You have to read the signs before it
Before it leads to chaos
The many things u dey see so
Should make ur eyes to clear
The many things u dey see so
Shud tell u things u need to hear
The many tins u dey see so
Shud make ur eyes to clear
The many tins u dey see so
Shud tell you tin u tins u need to hear
A merica de car ku dui be jo be looo
Enuke mau na ma ejoye ye be nyii
Do do yi amazola peme
Mgbagbu tuo olo
Cho cho zo zo nwo elana ojo nyii
A do lo lo na dogbe o
A nu da kpin loho
E wum cho nu wo do do
Na mensiah meh
A merica de car ku dui be jo be looo
Enuke mau na ma e donye be ilooooeee
The many things u dey see so
Should make ur eyes to clear
The many things u dey see so
Shud tell u things u need to hear
The many tins u dey see so
Shud make ur eyes to clear
The many tins u dey see so
Shud tell you tin u tins u need to hear
Do kpe kpe donyi ndo to cho okoto doni
