Hello Afri-tunes community!
It's another week and Merit is here once to share an African tune, I'm always happy to be able to share African music every week, it's fulfilling and fun.

So for this week, I decided to do the cover of the song "Watching Over Me", a song sang by Chike, another handsome and talented Nigerian artist.

The song is a beautiful one, a song about acknowledgement and gratitude. A song dedicated to God Almighty for His love, care and guidance over our lives. It's almost the end of the year, this song is a perfect one to say "I am grateful".

The song in both igbo and English language with the latter being more so the song is quite understandable for anyone to listen. I chose to sing this song randomly when I decided ill share a cover today. No much practice since I've always loved to play it.

Listen to the original here, I couldn't find the English interpretation of the igbo words so there are no subtitles for the video but I can bet we know what the song sings about.

I hope you do enjoy my cover of the song as much as I did, 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

Biko gwam ebe ngeje
Without jehova
Biko gwam ife ngeme
Without jehova
I just wanna say thank you to you
For watching all over me o
O o o o o o

Eh papa
I just wanna say thank you
For watching all over me
Eh papa
I just wanna say thank you
For watching all over me
Oh papa
I just wanna say thank you
For watching all over me

Chike is one of my favourite artists, he wins my heart with his awesome music and you just did the same again even if it's not the first time.

God deserves all the glory, it's been a rough journey through 2023 but here we are today.

This is sweet... ♥️
