Verse 1 Obour

Wobɛyɛ dɛn bra panyin, na woanya bi adi
Ɛgye sɛ, woate ne bunu, na wode akɔ sie

I love this song a lot. The beat is soo good. But what is the meaning of Konkontiba?
konkontiba is the Twi word for tadpole. the chorus says that the tadpole is going to grow to become a frog.
silly huh?
Wai deɛ ɔsua, menim sɛ ɔsua - As for this one, she is small, i know that she is small
Nanso ɔno ara na mepɛ - but she is the one that i want
Wabie biribi so akyerɛ me - she has opened something for me to see
Ama mereka ahyɛ a, ɛnhyɛ - and when i try to close it, it doesn't close (something like that)
Ɔno ara na ɔrepɛ a, kɔfa ɛ (2x) - if she is the one you want, go for it
Anka aber kɔɔ, nanso ɛnnɛ deɛ, yɛte ne bunu hyɛ - we eat ripe oranges, but as for today, we try unripe ones
pause... and read that again.. yes, that's exactly what the song is talking about. Add the chorus translated by Abeiku which talks about a tadpole becoming a frog, then you have your story.
Of course, Konkontiba was Ghana's song of the year in 2004 with an infectious beat, Batman's voice, Obour's rap and an easy song to sing. But a lot of people complained that the song encouraged men to have sex with young (small) girls as per the lyrics. Obour would have none of that, he contests that the song says young people or children can do the same things old people do, they can do big things, etc, etc. The tadpole would grow to become a frog, but while he/she is young, he can achieve great things. One man's profane song is another man's inspirational song.
Take your pick :-)
some story eh my brother. anyway, the beat kills me, i love the song
i have been looking for the video for konkontiba, can someone post it or a link to it?
thank you
no diz song iz about a tadpole growing into a frog
hehe did someone say anything different?
Are you sure the song is not about young people being able to do what old people can?
That's what Obour said.
