Afri-tunes Wk 78 - "Olileanya M By Ugoccie" Cover
Hello Afri-tunes community!
Where are my Igbo friends?! I did it!!!
Merit's igbo version of an igbo song, no laughing! Just focus on the efforts I tried to put into pronouncing the words correctly so I don't murder the language hehe.

So here I am with the cover of the song "Olileanya M sang by Ugoccie, it's an igbo song with a very beautiful meaning.
I heard the song for the first time on Tiktok and since then, I've been humming it until I could flow with the rhyme and then pronounce the words... It took me time, I almost even stop learning it as I couldn't find the right igbo lyrics online. I had to hand write what I was hearing and pronounce carefully until I could sing and rap it hehe.
The meaning of the song? It's all there on the video and I'm sure you'll love it too. The song is like a love letter to God for His love and how much one is grateful to Him for everything. The song makes me feel really good and I hope it rubs off on you as you listen too.
Do enjoy my cover, and I look forward to sharing more African music. Special thanks to my supporters, those giving me corrections which helps to make my videos come out better and thanks for viewing!!!
Song Lyrics
You are my Hope
Father, in you I keep my life
My refuge
You're the voice that speaks for me
Father, can I tell you the truth?
You mean the world to me
Lord, I confess my love for you
You are all that I have
See
Everything I said you
I've never heard in public
My relationship with you would have to be my STRONGEST
I don't loud about it
But we talk a lot in private
See, I'll trade all this noise
For your PEACE and QUIET
For all our conversations
You have never SCREENSHOTTED
When I was in trouble
Shey you brought me out of it
You still want me to keep counting?
All the things that you've done
How I excreted poison that was set to end me
