Obladi Oblada - What Does It Mean? by santony2k(m): 3:46am On Apr 16, 2010 |
So I was watching Jeopardy on TV the other night and they asked a question, "What Beatles song is derived from a Yoruba word meaning 'Life Goes On'?" Nobody got it right but the answer was - "Obladi Oblada" I am Yoruba and that doesn't even sound like anything I've heard before. Can somebody shed some light on the meaning please? Is it like a really old slang word? |

Brother, so many phrases have been attributed to the yoruba language, my take is such phrases words are prolly modified from that of the Yoruba Brazilians or better still Yoruba Americans |
