Odzu Kokoru Baba Okandzua

Alagba Mah O reo Baba Ole

A Strong Man with No Forethought Is Lazy

 

Eni Ti Ko Gbo Ti Ega, a Li Ega Nkpatoto Enu

Ekeda Eda Li Olorun Da Ni

The Creator Made Us with Different Qualities

 

Bi a Lagbara Dze O Ni Iya, Ki Ofi Erin Si I.

If a Great Man Should Wrong You, Smile

 

Bi Adza Ba Li, Eni Lehin, a Kpa Obo

If a Dog Has a Man to Back Him He with Kill a Baboon[sic]

 

Adza Ti Ko Li Eti Ko Se Idegbe

Gagalo Subu, Owo Te Akpako

If a Man Falls from His Stilts, Another Is Ready to Replace Him

 

Adaniloju Ko Se Ifi Ehin Ti
