YORUBA LYRICS ENGLISH TRANSLATION

English Translation, Meaning, And Lyrics: Olamide- Konkobility (MUSIC)

And now, here is the English Translation, Meaning, and lyrics to the latest hit from YBNL boss ‘Olamide’, titled #Konkobility. Enjoy it below.



NOTE: ‘Konkobility’ is a Yoruba slang used to dare people and belittle them. Mostly used by adults on younger folks. However, the word has its English variant as ‘Corcorbility’. Concorbility means ‘ability to con people’. So, Konkobility meaning and translation could also be, as used by Olamide in this song, “you conning or deceptive guy”.
