🎵 “Dako Amwonya Priscilla”- By Benny Moses Taiwo
🎙️ Verse 1 (Low, intimate male lead)
(spoken-sung, like telling a life story)
Awota Priscilla, Amari Matek
Dako amwonya, ame aparo atek
Ayomo chunya, kare luung
Pe aweki, pien marana tye ikomi
🎶 Hold long notes at the end of lines
🎶 Steel guitar answers each phrase
🎙️ Verse 2 (Voice opens up slightly)
(more confidence, same storytelling tone)
Tima kica, pien man kop ateni
Dang akwayi, chunya tye ikomi
Wan calo kom acel, wan acel ikwowa
Kede mara opong, pi anyim wa
🥁 Add:
Gentle kick on 1 & 3
Bass walking lightly
🎶 Chorus (Big, warm, sing-along)
(This is where Kenny Rogers magic lives)
Ka aneni, chunya bedo yom
Ka awinyo iloko, khuc pong yia
Amio pwoc bot Obanga
Pien en, okelo yin bota
🎵 Backing vocals (mixed male/female):
“Oooh… chunya bedo yom”
“Obanga… Obanga…”
🌉 Bridge (Drop instruments, emotional peak)
(Almost spoken, then rises)
Gony chunyi, wek obed imara
Obanga oyiko pirwa
🎶 Pause… then instruments re-enter
Ikom meja mere, iwi komker
Wan obedo acel pi kare lung
🎸 Steel guitar cries softly here
🔁 Final Chorus (Key change optional 🎹⬆️)
(Lift half-step for classic country drama)
Ka aneni, chunya bedo yom…
Ka awinyo iloko, khuc pong yia…
Amio pwoc bot Obanga…
Pien en, okelo yin bota…
🎤 Choir softly harmonizes on last two lines
🌄 Outro (Slow fade, reflective)
(Return to intimacy)
Ikwo wa obed acel
Iwi lobo, kede kuc
🎸 Acoustic guitar + steel guitar fade out
🎶 Last note held… silence… amen
