Goodness! I first heard this song from my mother and father. They sang it as a duet more than 35 years ago. I was just 7 years old but the song moved me to tears even though being a kid, I didn't grasp the meaning but it made a solid impact. I came to love it much more as I grew old enough to comprehend. One of my favorites. You got yourself a sub. I'm gonna correct the lyrics for the benefit of those interested. A hụrụ m onye ije (I saw a pilgrim) Nke ike gwụrụ n'ụzọ ya, (who was exhausted on his way (journey)) Ka ọ na-eje ije ya n'olileanya (As he was walking in hope) M we jụọ ya ihe kpaliri mmụọ ya, (So, I asked him what inspired him (what was his inspiration)) Ọ sị m na olileanya dị ngọzi. (He told me that it is blessed to hope) *Refrain:* Na iru ya ka e doziri (Before him were settled) Ọtụtụ nsogbu na echiche. (Many troubles/problems and worries) M we jụọ ya ihe kpaliri mmụọ ya, (So, I asked him what was his inspiration) Ọ sị m na olileanya dị ngọzi. (He told me that it is blessed to hope)
God bless you for this song. I'm always blessed listening to this song. It reminds me that we have a blessed hope beyond the curtain of time. God bless you.
The flavor of the song was impacted by the "funkinizing". Great song
Beautifully sang.
Thanks alot for this
POWERFUL
Perfect

A hụrụ m onye ije
(I saw a pilgrim)
Nke ike gwụrụ n'ụzọ ya,
(who was exhausted on his way (journey))
Ka ọ na-eje ije ya n'olileanya
(As he was walking in hope)
M we jụọ ya ihe kpaliri mmụọ ya,
(So, I asked him what inspired him (what was his inspiration))
Ọ sị m na olileanya dị ngọzi.
(He told me that it is blessed to hope)
*Refrain:*
Na iru ya ka e doziri
(Before him were settled)
Ọtụtụ nsogbu na echiche.
(Many troubles/problems and worries)
M we jụọ ya ihe kpaliri mmụọ ya,
(So, I asked him what was his inspiration)
Ọ sị m na olileanya dị ngọzi.
(He told me that it is blessed to hope)
And where he sang: "n'ikwesị ntụkwasị obi" Instead of "n'olileanya", that translates to "in faithfulness"
God bless you for this song. I'm always blessed listening to this song. It reminds me that we have a blessed hope beyond the curtain of time. God bless you.
