Hello my people it's another time to enjoy the beauty of African music once again, a time to share and explore the uniqueness in our music on hive. It's Afri-tunes week #105 and for this wonderful week I'll be presenting a song titled "Aye ole" by Infinity.
I was at work today when I was thinking of what to sing, then I glance through my jotter, I came across this song and I feel like presenting it.
Firstly, Infinity is a group of wonderful guys, wonderful musicians, these guys were the crooner of "olori oko" for some people that knew the song will know it's actually a very wonderful one. The song was a popular song back then, I could remember how schools and groups were using it for choreography back to back. And then to this song, it's also an old song but the message passed is never old, it's still very much relevant to this moment.
The title "aye ole" means "life is not hard." Looking at the meaning of this, I know it might actually mean a lot of things to many people, some people think life is hard and while some people think otherwise. Even though everything seems rough at the moment especially looking at the current situation of things in my country, it's not smiling at all but, if we can hold onto God, I believe everything will be fine, for sorrow may last for the night but joy comes in the morning. We need to hold unto our faith and exercise patience, this patience is what some people can't afford to exercise, so they conclude that everything is hard.
Moreso another interpretation of the song is that; it's we human beings that makes life tough or hard for ourselves, if only we can love our neighbors just like ourselves, I being this world will be a better place.
SONG LYRICS
Bowu ko pe titi, iya aye wa o n bo wa d'opin
Aimola eda lo mu eda s’aniyan ola
Olorun ti seleri, oro Baba ko ni ye
Ainigbagba lo mu eda r’aropin
Bi okun n fo
Ti osa n sa
Otito wa laaye
Igbagbo ni orisun ohun gbogbo
Oh huu huuu aye yi ko male
Aye ole f’eni to nigbagbo p’aye ole
Onisuuru, apekoto je, koni jebaje
Aimani suuru lo n mu are eni bo wa debi
F'oju re womi ore, k'Oluwa le foju re wo e
Abiku ti d'abiye ninu aye mi
