lyrics

SUMMERTIME
George Gershwin, Du Bose Heyward, Dorothy Heyward


Yoruba translation by Ayo-Dele


Summertime (igba Erun)
And the living is easy (awa sin gbe ni irorun)
Fish are jumping (Ejanfo o)
And the cotton is high ( owu si ga)
Your daddy's rich (Baba re lowolowo)
And your mama's good looking (Mama re si lewa)
So hush little baby don’t you cry (Jo dake omo mi maa sukunmo)

One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
And you'll spread your wings and take to the sky
But until that morning, there ain't nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin' by

Summertime (igba Erun)
And the living is easy (awa sin gbe ni irorun)
Fish are jumping (Ejanfo o)
And the cotton is high ( owu si ga)
Your daddy's rich (Baba re lowolowo)
And your mama's good looking (Mama re si lewa)
So hush little baby don’t you cry (Jo dake omo mi maa sukunmo)


So hush little baby don’t you cry (Jo dake omo mi maa sukunmo)
So hush little baby don’t you cry (Jo dake omo mi maa sukunmo)
So hush little baby don’t you cry (Jo dake omo mi maa sukunmo)


don’t you cry ( maa sukunmo)
don’t you cry ( maa sukunmo)
don’t you cry ( maa sukunmo)
