Best of Ebira Songs

Yeah

[@onyejekweceejay]

Came here after learning of this song from Victor Daniel's post on FB. I neither speak nor understand Ebira, but Victor attempted translating the lyrics in English, and I'd admit that this is indeed a high art material.

[@mezieonyeibe509]

Me too came here after reading Victor's post.

Let’s say I don’t struggle until the twilight of my life Let’s say life doesn’t turn me to yeye until my twilight [Chorus] Wait for me, doer of good Wait for me, doer of good Please wait for me Father wait for me [Verse 1] Life turned me to a man who takes food to the farm There’s no problem, I’ll endure But people at the farm say I have eaten And people at home say I have eaten I've learned that the one who has nothing, His kin do not inquire after him. What is it that you say you've not seen before? The creator who created me alone will cover my shame (Here he inserts plenty deep Ebira that I can’t translate into English metaphors) I was not informed of my father's departure, Yet they compelled me to remove the palm fronds (Here he’s talking about his father dying and him finding out by mistake) The man who builds a hut with dry thatch should not set grasses on fire You say you’re eating a monkey’s hand but it’s your own hand Bridge: The heavens that made laughter Is the same one that made tears to come with it O oracle of our heavenly father, grant me this: If you intend to bring me joy in this life, Let this joy linger until my twilight, Until I join my ancestors, Let this joy linger until my twilight, Until I join my ancestors, Please, father. Please, father. [Chorus] [Verse 2] To my father's household, Good day, I have arrived, and I greet you all, I have done deeds behind your backs and I hold no shame, (More metaphors I can’t interpret in English) I understand why I kept crying out, So the maker of the feast could partake in the meal, So the one who fetched water from the stream could drink of it, My father went to rest and his awakening troubled everyone, I understand why I cried out as I did, My father ventured into the market of life and never returned, Let us not call upon the heavens and the earth, It is the person who is caught that has done terrible things In due time, the shame of the vulture will be theirs, They may think they have done their worst, But what the heavens will do to them, they’ll never know, My father has departed with his own, the wicked left behind will forever live in fear, Wait for me, doer of good Wait for me, doer of good Please wait for me Father wait for me Translated by Victor Daniel
