Obi ati onwoni,
Kama so won nu, ka to sonu.
Iya ati Baba eni,
Kama so won nu, ka to sonu.
Aki mu yi wura boro,
Kama so won nu, ka to sonu,
Aki fi isura wa pamo,
Kama so won nu, ka to sonu.
Bi won n be e loni, be ra re,
Kama so won nu, ka to sonu.
Bi won o se oun kan fun e ri!
Kama so won nu, ka to sonu.
Ro ti eje mo’ya re lara,
Kama so won nu ka to sonu,
Ro ti ipese mo baba re lara,
Kama so won nu, ka to sonu.
Ro ti ojo aale, mo ara re lara,
Kama so won nu, ka to sonu.
Eso lo n gbin,
Yo si hu,
Kesan make, ko to sonu.
