Baba mo wa si waju re, mo wa juba Tokan tokan ni mo wa Niwaju re, Eledumare oba mi, I lift my hands to you. Take all of me Leave nothing untended. Let your hand, Olowogbogboro reach deep And rearrange all that you can use, let life speak. Let the excesses fall away, dead. Make me a new being, leaving the quarry approaching the temple. L'ariwo ba tan! The silence of the temple!! Fi owo re kan mi ki n le ri o, To see you within the whirlwind, Hear your roar above the noise, Know the colour you are within the chaotic mess. Take all of me Leave nothing untended. Let your hand, Olowogbogboro reach deep And rearrange all that you can use, let life speak. Let the excesses fall away, dead. Make me a new being, leaving the quarry approaching the temple. L'ariwo ba tan! The silence of the temple!!
