about

Written by Lennon-McCartney, Yoruba lyrics by Femi Temowo

Memory alone can fade. Yet, in council with sound and sight, it will gain strength and grant us the power of flight through the ages.

lyrics

Eye Iwo tio korin l’ale, fi iye to ge yi ko fi fo
(Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly)
Ninu aye re, asiko tio o duro de ohun na lo ma de
(All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise)

Eye iwo tio korin ale, fi oju to jin, kofi riran
(Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these sunken eyes and learn to see)
Ninu aye re, asiko ti de ki a so e d’ominira
(All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to be free)

Eye Iwo ma fo lo ma fo lo
(Blackbird fly)
