Home is where the heart is. Ile - a nostalgic fans' favorite

lyrics

Ile (Home) Ft Na!ra

Verse 1
A thousand times a day
The mind must escape
The desert of illusion
A thousand times a day
Flowing from our hearts
Is the river of inspiration
At the end of your labour
Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is
Don’t you know Hmmm

Chorus
Ile Ile… Ile labo simi (Home, Home, Home is where you rest)
Ile labo simi oko o (Home is where you go after your journeys/work)
Ile Ile… Ile labo simi
Ile labo simi oko o

Verse 2
Listen to this song
Ringing loud and clear
It’s calling the prodigal sons
Although you have climbed Kilimanjaro
And crossed the boundaries of the ocean
In the midst of your journey
Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is
Don’t you know Hmmm

Chorus
Ile Ile… Ile labo simi
Ile labo simi oko o
Ile Ile… Ile labo simi
Ile labo simi oko o
(Naira rapping)
I found you in my brother’s eyes
My mother’s goodbyes
Even from afar
You are so alive
You are evergreen
Beauty blossoming
Truly lovely like Tosinger sings
So my soul clings
Like a seed to its source
See me shining like silk George
Gele tied tight
Helicopter the contours
I am prodigy
I am progeny
I’m the possibility of greatness
Eloquent Phone (tics)
In my cadence
Even granny mi is elated
Her and her sub saharan smile
Make me sure I'll make it
Home is where the heart
So I wear heart is on my sleeve
So you can say I'm living on the edge of my dreams

Bridge to end
Where there’s love that’s where you belong to – Ile labo simi oko o
Where there’s peace that’s what to embrace (Mi e le gbabe è - I can’t forget home) – Ile labo simi oko o
