ok so here’s the song’s chorus (Bibanke) :

Bim ba n ke bo ban shun Fi mi si le Bim ba n ke bo jo ba n ro Fi mi si le.

and btw, when I said “help”… in fact I have not any knowledge in yoruba
But I’ll be interested in understanding that text in yoruba further than just the sense of that sentence.

The way we deal with language is interesting. I had a dog in Tanzania that I called "Mbwa" (Swahili for dog). All the neighbour children called it "Puppy." Why did they translate the name? I guess for the same reason the Beninese Yoruba mixed English with the Yoruba when speaking with you. Someone should research this phenomena. Fascinating observations, Loomnie.
