Say I Love You (Wipe Mo Nfe E - Yoruba Version) Eddy Grant (1978)

[@airmanchairman]

Memories of 70’s Lagos! My late Mum used to chuckle at his murder of the Yorùbá language, but she loved the rhythm & the fact that his effort at singing in Yorùbá was the best she’d ever heard any non-Yorùbá attempt‼️

[@KofiAyivor]

I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU MY BABY BROTHER EDDY GRANT FOR SINGING IN AFRICAN LANGUAGE ALTHOUGH FROM BRITISH GUYANA.ACTUALLY, BECAUSE, U KNOW THE ONE. MAY U STAY ALWAYS BLESSED BECAUSE EVERYTHING HAS BEEN PERFECTED WHAT GOD CANNOT DO DOES NOT EXIST..

@@KofiAyivor There is no British Guiana, just as there is no Gold Coast. The proper and correct name for both nations are GUYANA and GHANA!

[@dejinski1404]

I'm happy and sad at the same time listening to this song. Happy it brought back memories of the good life we lived back in the day growing up as a kid and sad at what Nigeria has turned to now.

[@1mistaGROOVE]

Nigeria has the potential to surpass it's past glory, we just need leaders with the right mindset.

[@dejinski1404]

@@1mistaGROOVE No doubt about that

[@1mistaGROOVE]

​@@dejinski1404The positive change will take everybody by surprise.

[@dejinski1404]

@@1mistaGROOVE I can't wait for that surprise

[@georgewalker2831]

​@@1mistaGROOVEyou can say the same for my country too Freetown was ones called the Athens of Africa back in the day but as you say it's the leadership that the problem

[@Jay-jay456]

I can listen to this music as many times as possible. Fantastic!!!

[@sokefunolusola5434]

This song came out when I was in the high school back in the days. There was a particular dance steps attached to the song. Wow!!! If I can turn the hand of the clock. This song is classic.

[@PaulKosoko-w3b]

My dad's favorite song,all the way from Jamaica, bless,R I P DAD🙏

[@oladipojoddyking]

Eddy Grant really came back home

[@NnamdiIfediora-iu1zu]

He also sang "Hello Africa" in both Hausa language back 70s

[@lawlaw2195]

This song was a monster hit in Nigeria in 1970's. From Africa with love.

[@airmanchairman]

Without a doubt! It’s amazing how most of his lyrical compositions with the Equals always were translated into Yorùbá by Lagos kids: Baby Come Back was changed to “Sikira t'ọwọ b'ọ́bẹ, ébí l'on'pa"‼️ Viva Bobby-Jo was changed to: "Síkírá bámijò"‼️

[@adedigbaagbayewa4886]

THIS ONE OF THE MUSIC WE LISTEN TO BACK IN NIGHT CLUBS IN NIGERIA

[@NnamdiIfediora-iu1zu]

I'm an Ibo born in brought up in Anambra in the 70s . This song made my days as a kid . I thought he was Bob Marley singing in Jamaican language . I latter knew he was speaking Yoruba language . Eddy Grant also sang "Hello Africa" in Hausa language in 70s , all world rated tracts

[@1mistaGROOVE]

Nigeria was buzzing back then. Life was very good.

[@georgewalker2831]

​@@1mistaGROOVEnot just Nigeria Sierra Leone too the clubs and bars and reggae music was very big

[@olichukwuleonard7006]

We didn't undertabsd what he was saying back then . We just knew he sang electric Avenue and did a yoruba song and we all grooved to it

[@SamsonEmakpor]

It means I love you The whole world knows

[@lawlaw2195]

Eddy grant, you are one of the most versatile and talented musician of our time ,God bless you.

[@augustineogundimu1826]

Mid to late 70s in Lagos. If you didn't play this song at your party, the party was lacking!!!

[@matinka7018]

I'm 59,don't understand a word. I understand only the music and I jump and dance all around my house. Music don't know any borders, age, language or color. I love Eddy Grant👏🏻💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼👏🏻👏🏻

[@1mistaGROOVE]

That's the power of music. Enjoy! God Bless

[@olaoluayotunde5082]

It is actually in the Yoruba dialect in the South Western part of Nigeria. I guess he sang the song after his stay in Nigeria during the Festac 77 celebrations.

[@madukaojimadu]

Here's the English version kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3SqfaeNbK-nnsk

[@georgewalker2831]

​@@1mistaGROOVE indeed say that again and again

[@georgewalker2831]

​@@olaoluayotunde5082 wow it's a shame we have not had another festival on that scale

[@babatundegbadamosi4966]

He made our youth day with this monster smash hit. Truly African beats. The original

[@tolu_lovelyo6990]

Wow!!! This took me back to my childhood! 😍😍😍

[@DE-hi9mc]

Damn Wow my big brothers rocked this till the old ce scratched out. They thought how to be funky and cool with swagger. God bless my brothers. They’re now tired OG’s lol.

[@ikpoegee]

I am very Igbotic but because we are very open minded and sociable people we enjoy anything good. We enjoyed this song as well then in Umuahia. I still remember how my very good friend,Okechukwu Dickson,now a pastor, used to dance to this song. I am not sure there's any person who could have choreographed the song better than Okechukwu Dickson.

[@donnacollins9199]

I love this song blessed him ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@justoroteta2234]

This extended version is far better than the English version ("Say I Love You") featured on the "Walking On Sunshine" album. Thanks for posting.

[@1mistaGROOVE]

I agree with you on that point.

[@carlcorini441]

I was still a little boy when this song came out but still very fresh in my memory.tnx for uploading this song.

[@bisikay]

Beautiful Song... Great beat and lyrics... Well done Eddy on your YORUBA language effort... Love this post, sir, Thank YOU!...

[@primeminister51]

I believe O.J. Ekemode aka Orlando Julius had something to do with this rendition in Yoruba language. Anyhow, it was well done by Eddy Grant

[@leahmqueen1749]

Fantastic song.....Remind me of my youth days.Bess Eddy.

[@maxintetteh5641]

As a child I remember my dad playing this song on his gramophone.

[@georgewalker2831]
