Ifunanya (3x)
Onye m'bu no bi

Verse 1
Girl I know say you dey wonder why
Why do people fall in love
It could be for the game of pleasure
I don't know
But when it comes to lust
Girl that's for sure
If you and I can turn these things around

Hook
Girl na you, be the one that makes me smile
And it's true (nne nne)
Na only you, fit give this love a chance to reign
Baby don't go

Chorus
All because of Ifunanya (Ifunanya)
Ifunaya (Ifunanya)
Because of ifunanya, onye m'bu n'obi
Na because of Ifunanya (Ifunanya)
Ifunanya (Ifunanya)
Because of ifunanya, onye m'bu n'obi
Nne biko biko don't go (oh oh)
Because of ifunanya, onye m'bu n'obi
Baby biko biko don't go (oh oh)
Because of Ifunanya (Ifunanya)
Ifunanya (Ifunanya eh eh)
Onye m'bu n'obi

Verse 2
Now I know say
I done realize, there is something within us
Na those things wey dey make me sometimes dey lose my trust
My love is knocking on your door
And na so, e go dey pursue you dey go go go

Repeat Hook

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3
My love is knocking on your door
I'm standing all alone on my own
Nne nne
Don't you see I'm waiting for so long
Don't let this love to fall
Don't keep me waiting under the rain

Biko ifunanya (Ifunanya)
Nyelum aka (Nyelum Aka)
Ifunanya onye m'bu n'obi
Biko ifunanya (Ifunanya)
Nyelum aka (Nyelum Aka)
Ifunanya onye m'bu n'obi
Onye m'bu n'obi (7x)

Biko ifunanya (Ifunanya)
Nyelum aka (Nyelum Aka)
Ifunanya onye m'bu n'obi
Biko ifunanya (Ifunanya)
Nyelum aka (Nyelum Aka)
Ifunanya onye m'bu n'obi
Onye m'bu n'obi till fade

This is truly a beautiful song by P-Square.
What is the meaning of Ifunaya?
It means 'I love you' in Igbo.

Ifunaya means my love/to love in the Igbo language. "Ifunaya, onye bu obi, nne biko, biko, don't go" means my love, the one I have in my heart. Please don't go.

So I hear Ifunaya can also be the name of a girl.

Biko ifunanya (Ifunanya) - Please my love
Nyelum aka (Nyelum Aka) - Help me
Ifunanya onye m'bu n'obi - My love, the person in my heart
Onye m'bu n'obi means 'person i have in my heart'

Nne biko biko don't go (oh oh) - Nne means baby
