Okan wa ji; k’ eru fo lo

1. Okan wa ji; k’ eru fo lo,
Ki gbogbo ifoiya k’o lo;
Ji, k’ o si sare ‘je orun,
Si fi igboiya ayo han.
2. Loto, elegun l’ ona wa,
Eran ara si ma s’ are;
Sugbon nwon gbagbe Oluwa,
Ti nf’ agbara fun enia Re.
3. Oluwa, ipa Enit’ o
J’ otun at’ ewe titi lai,
T’ o si f’ idi mu ‘le titi,
At’ aiye d’ aiye yio ma lo.
4. Lat’ ara Re, Orisun nla
L’ okan wa y’o mu amuyo;
Gb’ awon t’ o gbekel’ ara won
Ba subu, tin won ba si ku.
5. Gege b’ idi ti yara fo,
Be l’ ao fo lo s’ ibugbe Re;
Emi wa yio si f’ ayo lo,
Laise are l’ ona orun.
