i'm ivorian, speak french don't undestand Yoruba but i love this song, i try to understand the parts in english who remind me of my deceased friend who introduced me to ASA. My tears flow tonight my friend SIDIKI, rest in peace, too young to die
This song remembers me of my university days around 2010 ,how life was hard and had to endure hunger to learn and still after Many years still hungry and my job isn't paying but God is king gonna smile tomorrow. Much love from Ghana
Your comment has saddened me. Please, do not think you are the only one living with regrets and disappointments. Let us be positive that the best is yet to come our way.
I'm South African, don't understand Yoruba. But she takes me to a beautiful place when she sings in her mother tongue. I wish she could sing more in Yoruba. ♥️♥️♥️
The song talks about about a badly behaving lover, she is so fed up with but she pleads with him, that he is the only one, despite all the hurt, and if she weeps like the rain, she wants to be left alone.
I heard it on the radio today and it reminded me of the time I was doing grade 11 back in 2010. Never understood the song too but loved it with all my heart I had to come back and play it. What a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice🌻🦋🌞🌈🦄💜💖💙🇿🇦
I just found out that my college friend passed on and this was one of his favorite, he asked me to play it for my wife when I get him and it has become her favourite, that's how I got to know Asa. May my friend fly high🕊️. Will truly cherish the memories 😭
Asa means Eagle in English, this lady soars as an Eagle for real, her dynamic voice remains supersonic as now and ever. Who is still listening in 2019....?
The translation of the Yoruba parts Chorus: Bi ba n ke [When I’m crying…] K’o kun basia, fi mi si le ye[even if it fills the basin, leave me alone, please] Bi ba n ke [When I’m crying…] K’o kun basia, k’okun basia [If it fills the basin, even if it fills the basin] Bridge: Mo ti f’oro mi fo lu wa [I have surrendered my issues to God] K’o so, k’o so wa [May He guard us, may He guard us] Mo ti s’oro mi fo lu wa [I have told my issues to God] K’o so, k’o so wa [May He guard us, may He guard us] Ending Fade out: Iwo, iwo nikan soso [You, you alone] (Repeat till fade)
You missed "...b'omi ba'n shan" (like if water is overflowing...? I can't really translate this one hah) and "...b'ojo ma ro" (like if rain would fall)
Lyrics I wake up, I see you as you leave I feel it, I see it as you leave When we kiss I want deep But you're far away Bim ba n ke bo ban shun fi mi si le Bim ba n ke bo jo ba n ro fi mi si le He use to be my every thing Treated me like I was a queen What spell did you cast on me? Or is it the make believe You say girl never be afraid Of ever, ever loving me Those words I hung on too Oh God, I was a fool You became my bad habit keeping up appearances So you could notice Even when you suddenly picked your things and left the keys That's crazy Bim ba n ke bo mi ban shun fi mi si le Bim ba n ke bo jo ba n ro fi mi si le Bi ba n ke o ko kun basia fi mi sile Bim ba n ke o, ko kun ba si a, ko kun ba si a Mo ti foro mi fo lu wa ko sho, ko sho Mo ti foro mi fo lu wa ko sho, ko sho Iwo, Iwo nikan shosho Iwo, Iwo nikan shosho Iwo, Iwo nikan shosho Iwo, Iwo nikan shosho Iwo, Iwo nikan shosho Iwo, Iwo nikan shosho Iwo nikan shosho Iwo nikan shosho Iwo nikan shosho Oh, when I'm crying, when I'm dying Just leave me alone I can cry a river or a waterfall Just leave me alone, leave me alone Moti f'oro mi f'oluwa o
I don't know. I just love this song. It's so smooth and calm, nostalgic and soft. I love every second of it. The instruments, Asa's singing, the background voices. Just a beautiful composition in it's whole.
I don't know what bibanke means (I'm Filipino ) I don't even know how I got to this video while searching for funny puppy videos.... But.... I'm SO glad I came across this song omg Her voice is so INTOXICATING and CALMING So goooooood.
Harvard Ford "Bibanke" means when I'm crying" in Yoruba language. In this context, when I'm crying in conjunction with "b'ojo ba n ro" (if it's raining) fi mi si le (leave me alone).
As I listen to this song over and over while you are away. Its hard for me to peel my fingers from your skin.. To watch you walk away burns me to the core of my soul. Every word expresses feelings that I release as tears falls down my face because I.. I .. I miss you so much. Rather you love me secretly or openly Blindly, I will always love you
For this to be someone I stumbled upon. Just by typing in women of power. I can truly say I'm glad I did ☺... I tried my best to listen to all her songs. I can vibe off each one. I am a fan.. #GoodMusic!
Her words, thought pattern, rhythms and composure reminds of Bob Marley. I think nature sends these type of people once in a while to wake us up. “When I’m crying, when I’m dying..just leave me alone”
Bumped into this two weeks ago. I listened to the whole of this album and I felt as if the music took over my whole body, heart, soul and mind. I'm in love with her now :-D
In 2008,my relationship ended with an sms "I am not meant for u" This was my heart break song. I played it over and over. I call this track "sweet pain"
I’m still obsessed with this songs… my dad kept bringing me new 💿 from his cd💿 shop anytime the 💿 got cracked real bad.. until I started using TH-cam on my phone.. I kept playing on Asa on repeat to the extend my roommate got no choice than to love Her
Bibanke is a wonderful tune. Asa is a Goddess of melody. Her voice brings back loads of sad and good memories to me. Still listening to it in November 2020.
Its 7th of November 2024 and this masterpiece still sounds like it was put out last month. Truly, it is a work of art , one in a million ; iwo nikan soso🌟
I just discovered this woman and my my🙌the acoustic voice is amazing. I love that she sing in Yoruba as well😍😍I don't understand it but it heightens the song. This is pure quality👌 Not only that but she gives off a Tracy Chapman vibe to me but she kept it original in that you can hear her originality in her songs😍👌
One of my Favorite Asa songs...I can feel the emotions 100%...she is incredibly Talented....She makes the world recognize the great talents in Africa....We are super proud of you

Asa means Eagle in English, this lady soars as an Eagle for real, her dynamic voice remains supersonic as now and ever. Who is still listening in 2019....?
Asa actually means hawk in yoruba. Eagle is Idi.
And her name is Asha - culture

The translation of the Yoruba parts
Chorus:
Bi ba n ke [When I’m crying…]
K’o kun basia, fi mi si le ye[even if it fills the basin, leave me alone, please]
Bi ba n ke [When I’m crying…]
K’o kun basia, k’okun basia [If it fills the basin, even if it fills the basin]
Bridge:
Mo ti f’oro mi fo lu wa [I have surrendered my issues to God]
K’o so, k’o so wa [May He guard us, may He guard us]
Mo ti s’oro mi fo lu wa [I have told my issues to God]
K’o so, k’o so wa [May He guard us, may He guard us]
Ending Fade out:
Iwo, iwo nikan soso [You, you alone] (Repeat till fade)
Thank you 😊
Thank you 💜
Thank you 💕
You missed "...b'omi ba'n shan" (like if water is overflowing...? I can't really translate this one hah) and "...b'ojo ma ro" (like if rain would fall)
Thnks ❤️
2024!!!!!
Who else is here for this master piece in 2018? Thank you Asa.

“ASA” is in my top 3 best Albums ever in the history of Nigerian music. The Album should have won a Grammy..
Still listening in 2024

The year is 2020 and Asa's Bibanke is still 🔥🔥🔥
It's now 2022🤩
Lyrics
I wake up, I see you as you leave
I feel it, I see it as you leave
When we kiss I want deep
But you're far away
Bim ba n ke bo ban shun fi mi si le
Bim ba n ke bo jo ba n ro fi mi si le
He use to be my every thing
Treated me like I was a queen
What spell did you cast on me?
Or is it the make believe
You say girl never be afraid
Of ever, ever loving me
Those words I hung on too
Oh God, I was a fool
You became my bad habit keeping up appearances
So you could notice
Even when you suddenly picked your things and left the keys
That's crazy
Bim ba n ke bo mi ban shun fi mi si le
Bim ba n ke bo jo ba n ro fi mi si le
Bi ba n ke o ko kun basia fi mi sile
Bim ba n ke o, ko kun ba si a, ko kun ba si a
Mo ti foro mi fo lu wa ko sho, ko sho
Mo ti foro mi fo lu wa ko sho, ko sho
Iwo, Iwo nikan shosho
Iwo, Iwo nikan shosho
Iwo, Iwo nikan shosho
Iwo, Iwo nikan shosho
Iwo, Iwo nikan shosho
Iwo, Iwo nikan shosho
Iwo nikan shosho
Iwo nikan shosho
Iwo nikan shosho
Oh, when I'm crying, when I'm dying
Just leave me alone
I can cry a river or a waterfall
Just leave me alone, leave me alone
Moti f'oro mi f'oluwa o
Muah
Danke #March2020

Who Sang along with me
Thank you for your trouble of translating the lyrics.
God bless and protect you and your family in this New Year 2022 .
I don't know. I just love this song. It's so smooth and calm, nostalgic and soft. I love every second of it. The instruments, Asa's singing, the background voices.
Just a beautiful composition in it's whole.
I don't know what bibanke means (I'm Filipino ) I don't even know how I got to this video while searching for funny puppy videos....
But.... I'm SO glad I came across this song omg
Her voice is so INTOXICATING and CALMING
So goooooood.
Harvard Ford "Bibanke" means when I'm crying" in Yoruba language. In this context, when I'm crying in conjunction with "b'ojo ba n ro" (if it's raining) fi mi si le (leave me alone).
I love your music
Harvard Ford it means “if I cry”
Other words you might need to Know/interprete
bibanke - if i cry
b'omi ba n shan - if water flows
b'ojo ba ro - if it rains
iwo nikan soso - you alone
Means when I am crying ... leave me alone very deep meaning
Asa....I can hear your soothing tunes all the way from Kenya...may you live forever
As a cynical drug addict and very wise doctor once said, everybody dies.
Who's listening to Asa in 2019?
me,bro.
Meeeeeee
🙋 I am😍😍😍
me
me i mysef
This song reminds me of my husband. He sang it while playing his guitar when we first met...lol
I'm sure that attracted you to him a bit
hope he is still doing good and you are both doing great!
If he starts playing up please get in touch with me before you get too old
I don't understand the chorus, but I feel it man! Asa is a legend
It means, "If I cry like rain showers, please leave me alone" (i.e., let me cry)
Who’s here 23rd of August… Asa is so authentic!!I I am absolutely obsessed with her… so classic…😍😍😍😍👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Yes ooo
I'm here
This song will always remind me of my good friend Donald Ndifor. Continue to rest in peace bro.
Asa has indeed carved a timeless niche for herself for life and people will listen to her music forever.
Excellent fine music!! I've just discovered Asa's album, congrats from Hungary!!
The whole album is a masterpiece. She can release dozens more but this will be impossible t top
This is very true... Some of her best work
