  • This video is to help you understand the meaning behind the song Charm by ‪@heisrema‬ . Afrobeats and West African music may be easier for some to understand when translated and explained. I hope you enjoy!
    At the time of posting this, there is no official music video for this song. Please check out Rema's CZcams channel for his latest uploads.

    I really love some of the Nigerian songs, I was really into this song, and just vibing without understanding the meaning of the song, the song is truly amazing, now that I understand the meaning of the song that makes this song even more beautiful, I love how you explained it too, you are a graceful, sweet, smart and beautiful young lady, your man must be a lucky guy, you are a keeper. Stay blessed.

      You are so sweet and kind and I appreciate these lovely words. Amen and I’m Glad I can bring a deeper meaning of the song for you. You being able to enjoy it without fully understanding the words shows how beautiful music is 🙂

    I love Nigerian songs and they have produced some amazing music! Rema is incredible.
    Thank you SO MUCH for the translation.
    My daughter sings and she wanted to write a chorus to sing with “Charm”
    kind of like Selena did with “Calm Down.” She thought it would be fun to come up with a girl part/response to the song.
    So you have made it so much easier with your translation because we ALLL know how a woman would respond to some of the smack talking guys do 😂😘

    Af. Am. woman here and I love afrobeats and often find myself understanding without help which is lovely
    Thank you for the breakdown on this one
    The line "drop your body armor" made me think of "let your guard down"
    The breakdown of the song is really poetic and I can appreciate that for sure

  • @sutenTaHotep
    @sutenTaHotep Před 5 měsíci +1

    I love this song❤. To me it’s a ballad to an immensely powerful queen from a young suitor. In it, Rema mentions Oya - who is a strong force of nature associated with wind, lightning, and tornadoes - following his command almost in an attempt to sway or ‘Charm” her into doing so seductively because there’s no other way he can have her.

    • @AugustRose
      @AugustRose Před 4 měsíci

      Oya here is not the Orisha. It's "come on". The tonal marks are different.

    This is the second video I've watched and after watching and understanding those two songs: charm and mogbe by Asake, I've realised that Nigerian singers are really always romantic in their music but their language to a foreigner doesn't feel romantic at all. 😂😂 There's always a wonderful idea behind their songs. It's just wow!

Not too much on my papa tho Rema , even tho you are richer than him lol. 😂 also I wanted to ask you how did you get the confidence to post videos on here ?! I wanna start even tho I don’t have many subscribers coz they’ll come later. I do makeup but like I feel like I need to talk to people and I’m scared 😂 would appreciate your advice!

    • @Simbihawt
      @Simbihawt  Před rokem +2

      Lol right 😂...I was so nervous about starting CZcams as well. But the best advice I heard a while ago was someone saying something along the lines that you should start it scared, start it nervous, start it imperfect, etc. I was unsure still because what people would think, my Yoruba isnt that great etc. but I just did it. There was no harm in deciding to do it. I told myself I would give it 18 months to determine whether I enjoyed CZcams (regardless of views, subscribers etc),but no matter what I will stick with it it for the entire 18 months and then stop if and whenever I want to...hope this helped and let me know what you decide 🙂

      😂😂 sorry I missed this in the video! Soco as I know doesn’t have any real meaning but how I see it is like dance (based off how Wizkid used it in his song called Soco )

      This Soco word is really confusing now. It's like a secret meaning...

      Some people do not understand Nigerian Pidgin English and Nigerian slang so they ask me to translate these songs too 🙂
