Baba, a tun pade l’ oko Jesu

1. Baba, a tun pade l’ oko Jesu,
A si wa teriba lab’ ese Re;
Si O l’ a tun fe gb’ ohun wa s’ oke
Lati wa anu, lati ko ‘rin ‘yin.
2. A yin O fun itoju ‘gbagbogbo,
‘Jojumo l’ a o ma so t’ ise Re:

Apa Re ki O si fi ngba ni mora?

Nipa eje ti a ta fun ese,
S’ ilekun anu, si gbani s’ ile.
