Hello Music Lovers ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's week #57 on @afri-tunes. My name is @rukkie and I will be presenting a song titled Pray For Me by Darey ft Soweto Gospel Choir.
"Pray For Me" is a story of triumph against all odds. It tells the story of a young man who travels to the city for a better life. Though his parents forbids his travel as they feared he might become broken due to the lack of knowledge of how difficult the world could be.
Despite their refusal he was optimistic that he would survive the dangerous world out there and only requires his parent's prayers.
I chose the song because just like everybody,I also wished for a better life for my family. If I have the means I won't hesitate to seek out greener pastures. It might work out or not but I wouldn't know if I don't try. With God's grace and my parent's prayers,I would achieve greater things and make them proud.
This song has a bit of Yoruba language,so I will be giving a little translation by the side.
The lyrics to the song is given below;
Woke up one Sunday morning
Told my daddy I'm leaving home
Going off to the city tomorrow
Even though I don't know where to go
Then daddy said son don't be a fool
Cause life in the city is unbelievable
You could get broken oh you're just a little boy
And you may never find your way
And I said I know I could get lost
I know ah ah ah
I know I could get broken
I know ah ah ah
Forgive me father but I gat to take a chance
Oh am already gone so just
Pray for me
Gbadura fun mi(Pray for me)
Pray I find my way
K'ori ba mi se (that I may have a good fate)
Oh, forgive me father but I gat to take a chance
Oh am already gone so just
Pray for me
Hello daddy how you doing
Hope mama is doing okay
It's been four years and eleven months now
Mo gbo pe Aduke ti dagba ( I heard Aduke has grown up)
Olorun (By God)
It was true what you said to me
That life in the city is unbelievable
Had to struggle just to get by everyday
And I could barely find my way
Sugbon mo mo pe mi o le shina,O da mi loju (But I know I can't get lost,I am sure of this)
Mo ri pe aye le ,Aye yi soro ( I can see the world, it's a difficult world)
Forgive me father but I gat to take a chance
Oh I'm already gone so just
Pray for me
Gbadura fun mi (Pray for me)
K'ori ba mi se (that I may have a good fate)
Forgive me father but I gat to take a chance
Oh I'm already gone so just
Pray for me
Bori ba dolola lola o (If fate becomes a wealthy man tomorrow)
Pray for me
Emi ma de be o ( I shall get there)
Pray for me
Gbadura ki n serere o (Pray that I become successful)
Oh I'm already gone so just
Pray for me
Pray for me
K'ori ba mi se (I hope I have a good fate)
Oh am already gone so just
Pray for me
Thank you all for watching.
