Ife orun, o ti dun to!

1. Ife orun, o ti dun to!
Gbawo ni ngo ri t’okan mi,
Y’o kun fun kiki re?
Okan mi npongbe lati mo
Riri ife irapada;
Ife Kristi si mi.
2. Ife Re n’ipa ju iku;
Oro Re awa awamaridi!
Awon Angeli papa

Nwon ko le mo iyanu na
Giga at’ibu re.
3. Olorun nikan l’O le mo,
Iba je tan ka’le loni;

4. Emi iba le joko lai,
Bi Maria, l’ese Jesu;
K’eyi je ayo mi;
K'o j'aniyan at’ife mi,
K’o si j’orun fun mi l’aiye,
Lati ma gb’ohun Re.
