guitar chords lyrics
Bi'nu e ba dun, bi'nu e o ba dun (Whether you are happy, or not)
On' lati bami dele (You need to follow me home)
Bi o ba fe, bi o ba ko ye (Whether you like it, or you refuse to)
On' lati bami dele ba'mi (You must follow me to my father's house)
Akinyele wants to marry wife/ He don't want to pay some bride price/ You better find it
Akinyele omo Jinadu (Akinyele Jinadu)
He don't want to pay some bride price/ You better find it
Akinyele o… So this girl, in her late teens (perhaps, earlier twenties), is wooed tirelessly and strategically by one young lawyer from out of town. She initially refuses, but soon finds herself having strong feelings for this young ‘educated' man. She is impressed by his diction, his comportment, and even with the fact that he tells her he's a Law graduate from the University of Ibadan. Out of naivety and inexperience, she soon agrees to his proposition. Some weeks into the ‘secret' affair, he begins to pester her…
Otutu mu mi/ eyin nro mi o (Cold has taken hold of me/my back aches)
Wa bamidele ba'mi (Come, follow me to my father's house)
Sebi the same thing lo so fun mi l'ana (Wasn't it the same thing you told me yesterday?)
Mo tun de/ wa tele mi mo'le (I'm here again/ come, follow me home!)
Lawyer alagidi (Stubborn Lawyer!)
First class liar
Alakori sanwo k'o to j'obe (Headstrong fellow, pay before you ‘chop' soup)
Lawyer alagidi (Stubborn Lawyer!)
First class liar
Alakori sanwo k'o to j'obe (Headstrong fellow, pay before you ‘chop' soup)
Iya mi l'o bi mi, l'o bi mi (My mother gave birth to me)
Baba mi lo to mi (My father trained me)
Mi o ki'n s'omo registry (I'm not for registry wedding)
Alakowe lawyer (learned lawyer)
Akinyele o….
