Iyawo have been one of my favourite since I heard the song for the first time. It is love song, one of the best I have ever heard; and it's title is simply translated to mean "my wife". Iyawo Mi is a Yoruba phrase, and the entire song is written majorly in English with touch of Yoruba here and there.
Performing this song today, I dedicate to everyone who is in love in the house; love is indeed a beautiful thing 😊. The words of Timi Dakolo in the song Iyawo is directed to his wife whom he praised with numerous beautiful names. As I perform this song today, feel free to sing those beautiful words to you loved one.
Performing this song today, I will be taking just the verse one and two, and the chorus. I will also be accompanying my sing with just the piano voice from my keyboard with no percussion of any form. It is no doubt an entire new version of the original song, but I am certain you will enjoy it.
[Verse 1]
Like an angel in the morning
Shooting star across the night
The most beautiful girl I’ve seen in all my life
Every second spent with you is like a day that starts brand new
Girl I’m so amazed at all the things you do
Yes I wanna build my whole world around you
So I promise you forever and for always
Girl you are my sunshine baby don’t you go away
[Chorus]
Iyawo mi
Ololufe mi
Ore mi
Alayo mi
I will love you forever
Iyawo mi
Ololufe mi
Ore mi
Alayo mi
I will love you forever
[Verse 2]
I hear music in your words
And in the way you call my name
When you’re by my side I can’t do anything
You’re my best friend
You’re my lover
Without you no one else will do
Through thick and thin I know we’ll make it
Through
Yes I wanna build my whole world around you
So I promise you forever and for always
Girl you are my sunshine baby don’t you go away
