Flavour – Daberechi Lyrics Translation & Explanation

Flavour released his eighth studio album ‘African Royalty’ on the 1st of December, 2023, a project with songs for different occasions and settings.

On the album is this gospel record titled ‘Daberechi’, an Igbo word that means ‘Depending on God’ in English. In this post, I translated and explained the song lyrics.

I live my life for You
I give it all to You
Agụ na-eche mba

Na You dey fight all my battles for me
(You are the one that fights all my battles for me)
Lord, I live my life for You
I’ll never be put to shame
