she's so versatile....she's amazing....even Fela would have been proud of this song...makes you appreciate the beauty of the yoruba language/ the creativity of nigerians!!
I'm Cameroonian and a big fan of Asa. This son makes me feel like at home, in my village where similar sons are usually played by traditional groups. May I have the translation please ?
@@christianfodouop8048 she's basically lamenting about the situation of the country. That the country used to be so economically buoyant and beautiful and so she says in the chorus that “ti ilu o ba dun” (if the country is not sweet), “eyin le mo bi ese se” (you are the ones that know how you turned the country/made the country such way). Perhaps blaming the corrupt government who have ruined such a beautiful country. Thank you for listening to our music!😊❤️
I am a fan of ASA, fascinated with her creativity in story telling, conceptualising contemporary issues. For me after the song the next is Fire in the mountain. Grammy has never been credible but ASA has won my own Grammy back to back with songs like this and a couple of others like Bamidele. Keep it up Asa
I'm a stalker fan and I'm shocked I've never heard this song till this week... My favourite part is "ni sin ni sin ni sin". The flavour, beat, the jazzy touch makes you wanna slow dance with a glass of wine. Love it. Asa, you are a legend!
What is happening. How am I just hearing this song now? Wow. I search the internet every time to see if I will see something new about Asa even if it is her whistling or anything. How am I just seeing this now? I'm hangry.
So first, she's awesome. Second, I need to get the full lyrics because I would love to cover this piece. So if anyone knows where I can get it/or if you have a link, let me know.
I can't believe it, this is my first time of listening to this song and I don't want it to end.. keep on moving it back.. ASA 🙅🏿♂️🙅🏿♂️🙅🏿♂️ RESPECT Ma..
Who is still listening to this in 2019? Asa da great
Damn, this is one of her best songs to date! Love the clearly Fela-inspired instrumentation and beat. You go Asa mi!!!!!!!

I'm here in 2024. I couldn't find this song on Spotify. That's why I'm here.
Feel these tunes running through my being! Gosh, those HORNS!!! In this track lives on the genius of Fela, given able expression through Asa.
Can't get enough of this song kudos ma
This song resonate with the present predicament of Nigerias Economic crisis and Contemporary issues

Stole my words! Could boast of knowing any Asa song until I stumbled on this.
She truly is.
Coming here to listen today. Nigeria has once again disappointed me. Nothing about the elections have been free not fair
What is happening. How am I just hearing this song now? Wow. I search the internet every time to see if I will see something new about Asa even if it is her whistling or anything. How am I just seeing this now? I'm hangry.
I love this song! The fact that i don't understand what she's saying makes it even better! Proudly Nigerian o!
She's to good for that excuse of an award show called the Grammys. We love her like this
