People might think I am daft pouring out songs in this Corona time without calculations.
No, am not nuts! I really don't care. I have too many songs in the que, I just want my life's work out there at least documented, even if in the clouds!
I am not singing for food, but it will be sweet to get some reward for the sweat of my youthful days.
Here is the lyrics to the IGBO song.
My friend and Producer who played and produced the song, Smyl UFUOMA Ebah believes this song will endear me to my grassroot.
I wrote it, didn't I? Sure, I love my IGBO race, but I also love for everyone to understand what am singing about.
So, I have my IGBO lyrics script followed by the translation into English. Mark you, I was grately assisted by Google Translate to derive this beautiful translation. I merely edited the atimes laughable Google translation.
Keep your eyes on the road with this. The song is already being processed by the stores.
If you miss my subsequent update just search "eji mu ofor by windie-storm ohimiri" on Google and you will be sure to get a store link to stream or download from.
Here goes:

The TranslationTo English:
E Ji Mu Ofor (I Am Blameless)
(Shabudubaydah! Oooooooo)
I don't want any trouble
I also do not want your salutations
Going along on the road just minding myself
You said I’ve done the unthinkable!
I am blameless
I am blameless
I am blameless! 2ce
I am blameless
I am blameless
I am standing blameless to you!
You do not know where I am coming from
You do not know how I have been falling about
O rat nibbling on my fish,
What did I do to you? (ooh yea!)
Chorus
(Shabudubaybah!)
Everything that belongs to me
You say that is just what you want
You block my front, you block my rear
You are a real spit fire! Heehey!
I am blameless
I am blameless
I am blameless! (Take me back, take me back, take
me back there)
I am blameless
I am blameless
I am standing blameless to you! (Who can remind me
what I have done against them?)
I am blameless
I am blameless
I am blameless! (On mountains and valleys, there
is no one I have done wrong.)
I am blameless
I am blameless
I am standing blameless to you! (My hands are clean
in this world)
I am blameless
I am blameless
I am bameless! (My life is like water, who can refuse
me?)
I am blameless
I am blameless
I am standing blameless to you! (I have no idea,
not of any guilt!)
E ji mu ofor o (ooooooohouo)
E ji mu ofor o (Shabudubaydah!)
I am blameless! (Oooohohoouoooo)
I am blameless
I am blameless
I am standing blameless to you!
