Mama a de o, e wa la'ro yi ye wa o
Eyin iya a de o, e wa la'ro yi ye wa o
Won l'ogbon ologbon o nii je a gb'agba ni were
Seb'ogbon ologbon iyen nii je a gb'agba ni were o
Won l'eni t'o ba bere ona iyen kii s'ina
Eni t'o ba bere ona won ki sonu lailai
Mama a de o, ewa la'ro yi ye wa o
Eyin iya a de o, e wa la'ro yi ye wa o
Oro t'e beere, o l'otun o l'osi
Oro t'e beere, o n'iwa o l'eyin o
B'e ba s'otito o, aye yin a dun, y'o l'ayo
B'e ba s'ododo o, ilu yin a toro, y'o ladun o
E ma f'ole j'oba, aye yin a dun y'o l'ayo
E ma f'opuro joye, ilu yin a toro y'o l'ayo o
I know what we've been through
It is time to seek a better way
Greedy people in these high places
Hungry leaders stealing from the poor
My people too dey suffer o in silence
They will never talk till it's too late for them
Ominira wa nbo o ominira...
Jegudujera o r'ile gbe, alapapin o r'ona gba
Ap'omolekun ori mu mi o
Ominira wa nbo, ominira...
