PRAY FOR ME ( GBADURA FUN MI)- Lyrics By Darey Ft Soweto Gospel Choirs

Lyrics

Woke up one Sunday morning

Told my daddy “I’m leaving home

I’m going off to the city tomorrow

Even though I don’t know where to go”

Daddy said “Son, don’t be a fool!

‘Cause life in the city is unbelievable

You could get broken, Oh, you’re just a little

boy!

And you may never find your way”

And I said “I know I could get lost, I know I

could get broken

forgive me father but I’ve got to take a chance

Oh I’m already gone so just

Pray for me, (Gbàdúrà Fuń Mi) — same

translation

Pray I find my way, k’ori bamise (that I may

have good fate)

Oh! forgive me father, but I got to take a

chance

Oh I’m already gone so just, pray for me

(Repeat)

“Hello daddy, how’re you doing?

Hope mama’s doing OK

It’s been four years and eleven months now

Mo gbo pe Adukpe ti dagba (I heard Adukpe

has grown up)

Olorun (By God), it was true what you said to

me

That life in the city is unbelievable

Had to struggle just to get by everyday

And I could barely find my way

Sugbon, mo mope mo le sina, o da mi loju

(But, I know I can get lost, I am sure of this)

Mo ri pe aiye le, aiye yi soro

(I can see the world, it is a difficult world)

Forgive me father, but I’ve got to take a

chance

Oh I’m already gone so just

(Refrain)

Repeat: Pray for me

Bori ba dolola lola O (Oh, If fate becomes a

wealthy man tomorrow)

Emi ma de be O (I shall get there)

Gbadura ki n serere O (Pray that I may become

successful)

Oh I’m already gone so just

Pray for me x2

K’ori bamise (I hope I have a good fate)

Oh I’m already gone so just

Pray for me
