OMO ÌLÚ ÒRÉ PÓÒ Lyrics

Omo lu ore po

Oju b ani re

Ore o de nu ase bi kan

De ju oma ma fe se ko

Aye gba jeje

Jeje laaye gba

Omo omo wuwa rere iwo loju gbogbo nwo

Pedigree of a lineage bestowed with integrity

In compound of plenteous friends

Know you not that the invivo of a wicked one

Is devoid of friendship

Be extremely watchful; so as not to trip

Paradventure the ground may be taller, taller

Than the one who tramples on it

Remember the pedigree of whom you are

Coprophagist it becomes the ewe

That roams in company of dogs

Be wary of the fiendish friends

T' company of whom you keep

Wisdom the world calls for

Wisdom it entails

O! child be endowed with integrity

For all eyes are on you

Omo iwa bi ni je omo luwabi

Iwalewa, iwalesin, iwaloba awure

Iwarere le so eniyan

Iwa ni gbe ni si iwa ola

De po ola, de bi giga

Ka huwa toto, ka so otito, ka le to

S' ohun niyi omo eniyan

Awi gbo, a foogba,

ni je ki ka fi ka abamo benu

Oju ori inu eni, banirin ori okan eni

Efin n iwa riru niru

Ije ka gbe le aye hunwa rere

Ranti omo eni ti iwo nse

Oun a ba gbe le aye se laaroyin

Eni abawi fun olohun oba je ogbo

Eni fi iwa rere loo

Olorun oba ma je ogba

Epitome of ethics you must be

Behave not like the bad boys of Babylon

Who, befriend beautiful daughters of Jezebel

Indulge ritually in a bachus frenxy

Melded with trance

Inclined to a lost locus

Labyrinth of life journey laden

With power drunk, egoism, avarice

Malethics eclipse their integrity

Sin swims in the sea of sem'n solid

For sake of gold; ego, power

Power (like the horse's)

That phallus lost to lust

They acquired material wealth

At the expense of their decor dust

The dirty dust that turned into a poltergeist ghost

Omo lu ore po

Oju b ani re

Ore o de nu ase bi kan

De ju oma ma fe se ko

Aye gba jeje

Jeje laaye gba

Omo omo wuwa rere iwo loju gbogbo nwo
