Hello Africans people

I m jaydr and in this Afri-Tunes edition I ve done w song by ASA titled EYO.
EYO referrs to a cultural festival celebrated in Lagos Nigeria.

With men clad in white robes and hats holding sticks in the air.

It's mean joy, and speaks for peaceful coexistence in Lagos.

It has been celebrated for ages.

Asa sing about it was to depict her coming home to Lagos after a while away. As she says .. "I hope it still remains the same"

Here is the lyrics

Taxi’s waiting down on the street so
Hurry up I have to go
Looking round you’d see all the people
Making faces very cold
Carry me away, far from the circles
That never breaks

Going home
Going home
Where this road goes I already know
Where everybody cares for one another
And they take you as their sister

Eyo o eyo o
Eyo oo eyo o
Where the children run around
There’s laughing in the crowd
I hope it still remains the same

Eyo o eyo o
Eyo o o eyo o
And theres’s something in the song
That makes you feel at home
And that’s whats calling out my name
Eyo o o eyo oo

All locked in and ready for take off
So my mind could fly away
Houses getting small on the way up
In my heart a sunny day
Dreaming of me on stage
Five years of age and I’m not afraid
Hey hey

Going home
Going home
Where this road goes I already know
Where everybody cares for one another
And they take you as their brother

Eyo o eyo o
Eyo oo eyo o
Where the children run around
There’s laughing in the crowd
I hope it still remains the same

Eyo o eyo o
Eyo o o eyo o
And theres’s something in the song
That makes you feel at home
And that’s whats calling out my name
Eyo o o eyo oo

Would you take and embrace as your own

Eyo o eyo o
Eyo oo eyo o
Where the children run around
There’s laughing in the crowd
I hope it still remains the same

Eyo o eyo o
Eyo o o eyo o
And theres’s something in the song
That makes you feel at home
And that’s whats calling out my name
Eyo o o eyo oo
