Yo, eyin onigbagbo

1. Yo, eyin onigbagbo,
Je k’ imole nyin tan;
Igba ale mbo tete,
Oru si fere de.

O fere sunmo ‘le;
Dide, gbadura, sora,
L’ oru n’ igbe y’o ta.
2. E be fitila nyin wo,
F’ ororo sinu won;
E duro de ‘gbala nyin
Ipari ‘se aiye;
Awon oluso nwipe,

E pade re, b’ o ti mbo,
Pelu orin iyin.
3. Enyin iyawo mimo,
Gbe ohun nyin soke
Titi, n’nu orin ayo
Pelu awon Angel’
Onje iyawo se tan,
‘Lekun na si sile,
Dide, arole ogo
Oko iyawo mbo.
4. Enyin ti e nfi suru

E o f’ ade ogo nyin
Lele niwaju Re.
5. Jesu, ‘Wo ireti wa
F’ ara Re han fun wa,

A gbe owo wa s’ oke,
Oluwa je k’ a ri
Ojo ‘rapada aiye
T’ o mu wa d’ odo Re.
