O ya o!
Baba, mama, e ma ma se sun mo o
Ore, ara ewu mbe lode o
Baba o, mama o, e ma ma se sun lo o
Ore, ara, jamba nkan lekun
E ma ma gb?ole laye, e ma ma gba jaguda
E ma ma gbonijibiti, e ma ma gba konde
Ola si ma dara o - a dara, a dara
Ayo mbo l'ola o - a dara, a dara
So when you think you've got problems, pain in your heart
There is a place you can go to and come out anew
There is a place called history
It's there in the books
Darkness will give way to light
Ki'jo to d'ijo ana oro ta so e ma gbagbe o
E ba mi kalo o, ore e ma gbagbe o
Aye d'oju ru, ko s'owo l'apo
Aye d'oju ru, ko s'ayo n'ile o
Aye d'oju ru ko s'owo l'apo
Ebi np'omode o
Baba, mama, e ma ma se sun mo o...
