Ona ara l’ Olorun wa

1. Ona ara l’ Olorun wa
Ngba sise Re l’ aiye;
A nri ‘pase Re lor’ okun,
O ngun igbi l’ esin.
2. Ona Re enikan ko mo,
Awamaridi ni;
O pa ise ijinle mo,
O sin se bi Oba.

5. Ise Re fere ye wan a,
Y’o ma tan siwaju;
Bi o tile koro loni,
O mbo wa dun lola.
6. Afoju ni alaigbagbo,
Ko mo ‘se Olorun;
Olorun ni Olutumo,
Y’o m’ ona Re ye ni.
