“Se Bo’timo” by Brymo is a song about perseverance, focusing on the journey and ignoring the negativity of others, much like a tortoise moving steadily despite its surroundings. It’s from the album Merchants, Dealers & Slaves and uses Yoruba proverbs and imagery to convey a message of resilience and self-focus. The lyrics encourage listeners to take life at their own pace and not be deterred by a lack of appreciation from the world.
Ijapa o n'ibi ti o n lo
Kele kele, o n rin, o n lo
Araye n yimu, o n lo
Ero wa, ero lo, o n lo
Ko gba agidi
O ro bi A, B, D
Ti o ba koju mo tie
Ti mo koju mo temi
Bi a ba fi eyin si owo otun
Ki a feyin sowo osi
Ki awa f'eyin rin lati ahin titi de iseyin
Eni ma yini, a yini
Eni o ni yini, ko ni yini
Se bo'timo ore
Se bo'timo ore mi
Se bo'timo mama
Se bo'timo baba mi
Won n tan e
Dakun ye maa tan ara re
T'ire n t'ire
Ye ma ko ara re
Bi o ba sare, bo subu
Iwo lo lara re
B'ole, b'oro
Ore, ma paara ire
Ko gba agidi
O ro bi A, B, D
Ti o ba koju mo tie
Ti mo koju mo temi
Bi a ba fi eyin si owo otun
Ki a feyin sowo osi
Ki awa f'eyin rin lati ahin titi de iseyin
Eni ma yini, a yini
Eni o ni yini, ko ni yini
Se bo'timo ore
Se bo'timo ore mi
Se bo'timo mama
Se bo'timo baba mi
