Aso ala ni mo wo elepo ya fun mi
Lekeleke nbo l'ona eye funfun ni
Fo, maa fo, maa fo, eye olola
Bo, maa bo, maa bo, eye onire

With the love and the strength of the fathers
In the blessing of the spirits of the sky
In the warmth of the bosom of the mothers
With the knowledge and the wisdom that I need
To set my people free, set my people free...

Awon agbagba ilu, won wa ko'ra won jo
Won fe l'eye l'oko
Won k'ada jade, won k'ake jade, won nge gi oko

L'aipe l'aijina, won ge gbogbo igi tan, o wa ku'gi kan l'oko
Igi iroko, igi ti gbogbo aye nfe, eyi ti gbogbo aye nbo
O di ka, odi ko, ko ma ku gi kan loko o!
Ko wa pe l'eye fo lo o - pagidari igi da
Pagidari igi da, eye fo lo o...
