if one guy come yarn me this in yoruba, i go melt o. obviously onlytheworst doesn't understand yoruba why else would he/she label this beautiful creation as been one of the worst poems. smh
there is no way u can translate the meaning of everything he is saying. you just need to understand the language. this is by far the best yoruba poem i've heard.
Ok everyone - look. The english translation that is subtitled is no doubt one of the most cheesy and nonsensical poems I've ever seen in a movie. Perhaps it is so much better in Yoruba? Can anyone provide a better translation?
i do not intend to be rude onlytheworst, but for you to judge a poem read in a language you do not understand based only on its english interpretation is irresponsible. I however must thank you for posting it since it affords us the opportunity to savour the beauty of this beautiful rendition
I am a poet, and anyone who thinks this Yoruba poem is the worst lacks poetic and basic intelligence. This is a masterpeice, it is one of the deepest love poems I have ever heard!
the 1st time i heard this poem...i dont really understand wat it was sayin...but few year later...when i hear it again...it can never be compare to other poems out there....
I agree with you, obviously the uploader does not understand yoruba, moreso since the movie does not use the anglised yoruba that most people speak today.
'Onlytheworst' most likely does not understand Yoruba. The english transcription cannot capture the richness of the 'ewi'. Also, there needs to be an awareness and indeed socialisation into yoruba culture to fully appreciate the beauty of the poem.
u r a big fool for branding this masterpiece worst...idiot!

The writer means the best poem. Sorry, it must be a typographical error, otherwise he/she must be a joker for calling this the worst poem.

Wonderful poem, there is no real english interpretation for deep yoruba words. Me like it.
