Bisimanuel – Ebun

“Ebun” from Bisimanuel’s Anu Ni album opens with a simple idea, but it goes deeper than it first sounds. “Ebun” means gift, something given freely, not earned, not forced. This song rests on that truth and brings it close to everyday life.

Here, the focus is not just on material things, but on the kind of gifts that cannot be touched. Life itself, breath, mercy, another chance to start again. Bisimanuel expresses this in a calm and honest way, like someone who has looked around and realised that many things we overlook are actually gifts. There is also another way to see “gift.” Sometimes, a gift is responsibility. Something placed in your hands that you must value and not waste. So as the yoruba song plays, it quietly nudges you to pay attention, to recognise what God has given you, and to hold it with gratitude instead of taking it lightly.
