Peace Lyrics English Translation by Mohbad
The lyrics ask tough questions about loyalty and struggle. MohBad mentions, ‘Will you stay when I have no raba (money)?’ The poet uses everyday scenes, like smoking a cigar and roaming around traders, to show his journey and search for peace.
Iyawo mi sh’oda to romipinMy woman, was it right to look down on me?
O fi mi si’le mon fa cigarYou left me all alone to smoke my cigar.
Wetin be this one like thisWhat kind of situation is this?
Been through many thingsI’ve been through so many things.
Many many gistsThere are so many stories to tell,
I still find my peacebut I still find my peace.
Imole oh ahIt’s Imole (Light), oh ah.
