This post brings us to the meaning and English translation to the lyrics of ‘ABEFE’ music, by 9ice of Alopomeji Records. The audio was directed by Olumix; video by Alexander The Great. Below is the lyrics English meaning and translation of Abefe by 9ice. Enjoy it!
NOTE: The word Abefe is a yoruba word; it is a word formed by combining two words togethe “Ebe- Beg, and Fe- Love”. Some parents are fond of giving this nickname to their child, especially female child. If am asked, I would say the close literal meaning and translation of ABEFE is- Sought-Love. Popular meaning of Dorobuchi- One who is Rich, swagged out, and popular (simply an Affluent); and Orente- A beautiful, intelligent, gentle, and the take-home-to-mama kind of girl (simply a Damsel). Eminado means ‘goodluck charm’
