River
by Ibeyi
Come to your river
I will come to your river
I will come to your river
Come to your river
(Wash my soul)
I will come to your river
(Wash my soul)
I will come to your river
Wash my soul again
Carry away my dead leaves
Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters
Sink my pains and complains
Let the river take them, river drown them
My ego and my blame
Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters
Those all means are so ashamed
Let the river take them, river drown them
Come to your river
I will come to your river
I will come to your river
Come to your river
(Wash my soul)
I will come to your river
(Wash my soul)
I will come to your river
Wash my soul again
Carry away my old leaves
Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters
Sink my pains and complains
Let the river take them, river drown them
My ego and my blame
Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters
Those all means so ashamed
Let the river take them, river drown them
Come to your river
I will come to your river
I will come to your river
Come to your river
(Wash my soul)
I will come to your river
(Wash my soul)
I will come to your river
Wash my soul again

Ibeyi means twins in a Nigerian language
Goodnews
It is called 'ibeyi' ' in Cuba because of the Spanish influence.
In Yoruba, Nigeria it is called 'ìbejì'.
Meaning twins. Still the same.
Proudly Nigerian Yoruba 🇳🇬

@T Breez st agustine ...so there was catholic blacks in north america before columbus?is that what youre sayin?next you gon say eskimos are originally black
T Breez
@Ojberretta Berretta That's BS and just plain ignorant! St. Augustine FL had FREE BLACK CONQUISTADORS AND SEAFARER'S that directed Spain into No.
America. They were the conduits for communication with the native people of FL. They didn't use Spanish. This was in the 1500s....READ HISTORY prior to calling others stupid cuz all YOU do is MAKE IT PLAIN WHOSE STUPID!
