Adesuwa (Q1) hat den Songcontest im Englisch LK von Herrn Jesse gewonnen. Ihren Songtext für „African Giant“ möchten wir hier gerne veröffentlichen.
„For this project, we listened to „This is Nigeria“ by Falz and were then tasked with writing our own song about any place where we feel at home. Our song could either take a critical stance or reflect our deep affection for it.
I specifically chose Nigeria and aimed to capture the beauty of Nigeria in my song. Essentially, it’s a love song dedicated to Nigeria.“
AFRICAN GIANT
INTRO: BRIDGE:
Whispers in the jungle, where city lights gleam, City rhythm, streets alive,
Our love’s a rhythm, in a resilient dream. In every step, Naija’s strength thrives.
Burning passion in every beat,
VERSE 1: A love so deep, where hearts meet.
Under Naija’s moonlight, where tales untold,
City light’s shimmer, in the secrets we hold.
OUTRO:
From Lagos to Abuja, where dreams unfold, Land of love, where dreams unite,
In Nigeria’s heart, history in stories enrolled. Nigeria’s heart, in the soft moonlight.
I feel at home, my heart, it holds. In the echoes of our anthem, strong and true,
Love for Naija, runs deep and true, In Naija’s embrace, where resilience renews.
In every heartbeat, our dreams renew.
PRE-CHORUS:
City echoes, city lights so bright,
Naija’s rhythm, a soulful fight.
CHORUS:
Oh Naija, in the midnight hour,
Sweetest vibes, overcoming power.
From coastal waves to city towers,
In our hearts, Naija blooms like flowers.
VERSE 2:
Urban rivers, flowing with resilience,
Symbolizing a history of perseverance.
Diversity’s voice, a soulful sound,
In Naija’s pulse, the echoes of the past resound.
Urban beats, resilience in the drive,
City tales dance, history we survive.
Diverse tongues, a symphony we weave,
In Naija’s heart, where echoes of pain still breathe.
PRE-CHORUS:
City whispers, city lights so bright,
Naija’s swag, in the soft moonlight.
CHORUS:
Oh Najia, in the midnight hour,
Sweetest vibes, overcoming power.
From coastal waves to city towers,
In our hearts, Naija blooms like flowers.
Oh Naija, in the midnight hour,
Sweetest vibes, overcoming power.
From coastal waves to city towers,
In our hearts, Naija blooms like flowers.
