“Ajanaku Abiru Bamba
Omo erin jogun ola
Omo Ajanaku oolekan, Oba to ma merin so ko ti je
Olomi nile fetuwe, Alagbara ekeji Olorun
Ara iwaju o see nkan, ero eyin nse kisa
Omo laye mogode
Omo adaso bi eni jogun
Omo olomi meji lemuren, ikan arobi, ikan atori
Omo atekan mole ponmi emuren, ikan mimu ikan aimu
Omo Balogun dondodawa, idameji ilu, to won pe lenikan
Abidi pigi lati bere wole
Omo Olori Giwa, adaso bi eni jogun
Omo oba sa aaki”
“May your years be long”.
