Decoding the Lyrics
The lyrics of “POE” are delivered in a vibrant mix of English, Pidgin English, and Yoruba – a true reflection of Afrobeats’ diverse linguistic influences. Let’s break down some of the key lines:
- “I say make you dance with me make you no go Dey jonse/ I swear you Dey po/ you no know as he Dey go”
- This translates to “I want you to dance with me, don’t be shy. I swear you’re hot, but you don’t even know how good it can be.”
- “Tunbo tunbo gbas kelebe oche ni mo chose/ Tosan nene po ko ma fimi dege pose”
- This Yoruba phrase is brimming with sensuality, expressing a desire to dance intimately with someone special.
- “But mind you I’m gonna send/ Girl I go need you full presence”
- This line hints at both the intensity of the attraction and a demand for the woman’s full attention.
