ARAIYE
Idamu oni pade e o
A imo asiko ni damu
E da
Kabiyesi olori akiyesi
Ton fera,
Ko ronti ola
Ori ki e je shon’fela
Iya’n bu omo re
Eyin ti oo gara te le
Ojo waju dey ba i ba i,
Omo no o rono ti e,
A imo asiko ni damu
Araiye, ore mi
Opolo itumo, ti’ awon mi
O kuuno
Dupe fun’Olorun araye e da.
Ti agogo orin ba le shee
Igbele fuun Oluwa
A dara ko tuun ro, ko ro
Sisi Egberaga
Baba Agbalagba
Mk Ojojo
Orita meta ni pada ti
Aje
Shekere ni iba di omoge
Igbale oko ofurufu omode
Bi e mi shen ro
Obirin lolorun Oba.
