Greetings to my friends of the Afritunes Community and this is @sampraise77. This is Afritunes Week 120 and am happy to be part of this week entry again.
This week, I am presenting to you a very power song titled “YABO” by SOLOMON LANGE and I will be doing a guitar cover so enjoy the flows……..
The song is sung in the Hausa language, which is predominantly spoken in Northern Nigeria.
The title "Yabo" translates to "praise" or "worship" in English. Part of the reasons why I love this song is because the song is a heartfelt expression of praise and worship to God, acknowledging His greatness and magnificence. It is a song that resonates deeply with believers, inspiring them to give their utmost praise and adoration to God.
The lyrics of Yabo speak of God's faithfulness, mercy, and love. It emphasizes the need to worship and honor Him for His numerous blessings and grace. The song also encourages believers to reflect on the goodness of God and to express their gratitude through praise.
Yabo has become one of Solomon Lange's most popular songs, reaching a wide audience within and beyond Nigeria. Its soulful and melodic composition, coupled with Lange's passionate vocals, has made it a favorite among gospel music enthusiasts. The song is often performed in churches, concerts, and Christian gatherings, evoking a spirit of worship and adoration.
*Lyrics
Some trust in chariots
Some trust in horses
But we trust in the name of the Lord
Some trust in their skills
Others trust in their kins
But we trust in the name of the Lord
When the arm of flesh will fail them
We'll still be standing tall
'Cause we trust in the name of the Lord
When they say there is a casting down
We will say there is a lifting up
'Cause we trust in the name of the Lord
Menene zan baka masoyi na
Domin kaunar ka, zuwa gareni
Menene zan baka mai ceto na
Domin alherin ka, zuwa gareni
Yabo daga zuchiya
Yabo daga zuchiya
Yabo daga zuchiya
Na baka (na baka)
Na baka (na baka)
Yabo daga zuchiya
Yabo daga zuchiya
Yabo daga zuchiya
Na baka (na baka)
Na baka (na baka)
If the Lord doesn't build a house, then we labor in vain
But we trust in the name of the Lord
If the Lord doesn't watch the city, then we stay awake in vain
But we trust in the name of the Lord
Greater is He who is in me, than he who is in the world
I triumph in the name of the Lord, ha
Menene zan baka soyi na
Domin kaunar ka, zuwa gareni
Menene zan baka mai ceto na
Domin alherin ka, zuwa gareni
Yabo daga zuchiya
Yabo daga zuchiya
Yabo daga zuchiya
Na baka (na baka)
Na baka (na baka)
Yabo daga zuchiya
Yabo daga zuchiya
Yabo daga zuchiya
Na baka (na baka)
Na baka (na baka)
