[preciousoguche]

The year is 2023 and I am still obsessed with this song. Such a classic ❤

[messanfranck]

i'm ivorian, speak french don't undestand Yoruba but i love this song, i try to understand the parts in english who remind me of my deceased friend who introduced me to ASA. My tears flow tonight my friend SIDIKI, rest in peace, too young to die

“ASA” is in my top 3 best Albums ever in the history of Nigerian music. The Album should have won a Grammy..

This song remembers me of my university days around 2010, how life was hard and had to endure hunger to learn and still after Many years still hungry and my job isn't paying but God is king gonna smile tomorrow. Much love from Ghana

I'm South African, don't understand Yoruba. But she takes me to a beautiful place when she sings in her mother tongue. I wish she could sing more in Yoruba. ♥️♥️♥️

Asa means Eagle in English, this lady soars as an Eagle for real, her dynamic voice remains supersonic as now and ever. Who is still listening in 2019....?

[yemisicoast]

The translation of the Yoruba parts

Chorus:
Bi ba n ke [When I’m crying…]
K’o kun basia, fi mi si le ye[even if it fills the basin, leave me alone, please]
Bi ba n ke [When I’m crying…]
K’o kun basia, k’okun basia [If it fills the basin, even if it fills the basin]

Bridge:
Mo ti f’oro mi fo lu wa [I have surrendered my issues to God]
K’o so, k’o so wa [May He guard us, may He guard us]

Mo ti s’oro mi fo lu wa [I have told my issues to God]
K’o so, k’o so wa [May He guard us, may He guard us]

Ending Fade out:
Iwo, iwo nikan soso [You, you alone] (Repeat till fade)

[mselle]

The year is 2020 and Asa's Bibanke is still 🔥🔥🔥

[john-henric]

I don't know. I just love this song. It's so smooth and calm, nostalgic and soft. I love every second of it. The instruments, Asa's singing, the background voices.
Just a beautiful composition in it's whole.

[harrymorgan]

Song reminds me of my first gf Bisola in my uni days.... remember when we cuddled to this song playing on a rainy day...

Lyrics

I wake up, I see you as you leave
I feel it, I see it as you leave
When we kiss I want deep
But you're far away
Bim ba n ke bo ban shun fi mi si le
Bim ba n ke bo jo ba n ro fi mi si le
He use to be my every thing
Treated me like I was a queen
What spell did you cast on me?
Or is it the make believe
You say girl never be afraid
Of ever, ever loving me
Those words I hung on too
Oh God, I was a fool
You became my bad habit keeping up appearances
So you could notice
Even when you suddenly picked your things and left the keys
That's crazy
Bim ba n ke bo mi ban shun fi mi si le
Bim ba n ke bo jo ba n ro fi mi si le
Bi ba n ke o ko kun basia fi mi sile
Bim ba n ke o, ko kun ba si a, ko kun ba si a
Mo ti foro mi fo lu wa ko sho, ko sho
Mo ti foro mi fo lu wa ko sho, ko sho
Iwo, Iwo nikan shosho
Iwo, Iwo nikan shosho
Iwo, Iwo nikan shosho
Iwo, Iwo nikan shosho
Iwo, Iwo nikan shosho
Iwo, Iwo nikan shosho
Iwo nikan shosho
Iwo nikan shosho
Iwo nikan shosho
Oh, when I'm crying, when I'm dying
Just leave me alone
I can cry a river or a waterfall
Just leave me alone, leave me alone
Moti f'oro mi f'oluwa o
