The chorus of the song is the most popular part, and it talks about the bird of Adaba which is a mythical bird in Yoruba folklore that is said to bring good luck to those who come across it. She repeats this verse two times to emphasize how important this day is to her, and how much she cherishes it. It is the day that she came to this world, and she is grateful to have seen another year.
The lyrics in the first verse talk about a day that is very important to the singer. The song 'Eye Adaba' by Asa is sung in Yoruba language which means 'Bird of Adaba'.
