Afri-tunes Wk #40 - "Ijoba Orun By Lara George" Cover with subtitle
Hello Afri-tunes family!
It's 15th of December, a special day for me as my dad was born on this day years ago. I'm yet to figure out what to give to him as a birthday gift but I'm excited and feeling so grateful as if it's my birthday. @ebingo had once asked if I could feature my dad in a song video where we would sing together, I'm still planning on that hehe.
For now, you can join me to wish him a happy birthday and I'll make sure to have him read them 😊
My number one full support, God bless your new age daddy ❤️
It's week 40 and I decided to do a song by Lara George titled "Ijoba Orun" a yoruba song covered by an Urhobo girl, so don't mind her pronunciation, she tried her best to sing the words well enough. I chose to add subtitle to the video for easy read, it wasn't easy but I had fun doing it.
Most of the video editing was done by sister which I really appreciate, I'm still trying to get use to a new video editing app recommended by her. I hope the vide came out well enough.
The song is a solemn one, focuses more on heavenly goals and how one prays to be with God at last in the Home above. I honestly never thought the song had such a meaning until recently when I started to learn the lyrics and what it means.
Lara George is one of the gospel artists I love so much, I actually wanted to sing another song done by her but decided to go for this first, may submit the other song for next week's entry.
The song is an old one but still gold and I get goosebumps whenever I listen to it. Not sure mine will give even a cool breeze though but I had fun preparing this entry, just listen and enjoy the little I did. Your comments are very much appreciated for my improvement.
Song Lyrics
Ijoba orun, lere onigbagbo o
(Heaven is the believers reward)
Ijoba orun, lere onigbagbo o
(Heaven is the believers reward)
Ma jen kuna baba, mu mi dele o
(Father, don’t let me miss it, Take me home)
Ma jen kuna, baba se mu mi dele o
(Father, don’t let me miss it, Take me home)
Owo ti mo ni (The money I have)
Ko le mu mi dele o (Can’t take me there)
Moto ti mo ri ra (The cars I’ve bought)
Ko le wa mi dele o (Can’t drive me there)
Ore ti mo ni (The friends I have)
Ko le sin mi dele o (Can’t accompany me there)
Gbogbo iwe, ti mo ri ka (All the knowledge I’ve gained)
Won gbe mi rele o (Can’t take me there)

Happy birthday to your dad. I will keep waiting for you to sing with him I know it will be fun to watch.
It was nice to watch you perform this "classic" if it is okay to call it that...You also know the lyrics so well and watching you is always a nice time.
Yeah, he would be so happy to do a video with me but I think we will need more than excitement to do a video that's worth watching hehe.
Classic? I'm honoured hehe
Lol...sometimes, the excitement caught on camera is the most beautiful thing. You get to keep that memory on the chain forever.
You na classy babe na

Happy Birthday to daddy! I got interested in the entry when I saw it was Ijoba Orun. I know that you are not Yoruba and I thought to hear your pronunciation of the song lyrics. You did really well, I really enjoyed listening to you.
This is so pleasant to the ears, I must say!
Haha I love the language but still finding it hard to learn 🥲 I tried my best to sing it well enough.
Thanks for stopping by and your kind words, I appreciate it a lot
I can teach you the language with chikini HBD/hr.
😂😂😂
Here we go again!
Don't worry, I'll just stick to learning their songs that I love 😅
I thought you said you love the language and want to learn it... This is your chance now! Opportunity comes once but once oh.
😂😂😂😂
Let this opportunity pass me by in peace
Las las I marry yoruba guy 🥲
Happy birthday to your dad, I pray he's going to live long to eat the fruit of his labour in good health and wealth.
Ohh I would also love to see you and your dad sing oo 😃 that will be exceptional I guess.
Urhobo girl singing Yoruba song hmm, weldone oo infact you really tried hitting those lyrics and just getting on point, you're valid dear 👍 your voice is incredibly sweet once again as usual and then your song is pleasant.
Haha hopefully, we will sing together one day 😅 expect exceptional video from us hehe.
Even I am surprised sometimes how I'm able to pronounce some of the words in yoruba... I think I really need to marry a yoruba man 🤣
No qualms, I can't wait to see you both give us that all time award winning music video 💪
I think I really need to marry a yoruba man 🤣Really 😃😃 we've lovely and handsome Yoruba guys/demons here oo, how did you like it? Beard gangs or no beards, tall or short, dark or light skinned... Dem full here, just pick your choice 🤣

This is beautiful. Not a Yoruba girl but you did justice to this one. I was amazed when I first saw it on your status. You did this well.
This was the same song they sang on Friday at the Thanksgiving service of one of my grandmas who died last month. I cried listening to how she sang it. Exactly just like Lara George 😭😭😭
Awww all these words for me? 🥺
Thanks so much sis
I can totally understand how this song can make one cry 🥲 I always get goosebumps whenever I listen to the original.
You are always welcome. Lara is amazing. This song has long been produced and it still feels like she just produced it recently. Forever existing. This song is a great one and a prayer for the world.
That is it 😊
