lyrics

Eje kawa s’owo po – let’s join hands
Eje kawa dira mu – let’s embrace each other
Eje kawa s’owo po – let’s join hands
Ka so ara wa – and let’s be careful

Eje kawa s’owo po – let’s join hands
Eje ka wa la oju – let’s open up our eyes
Eje kawa s’owo po – let’s join hands
Ka so ara wa - and let’s be careful

HOOK
Irinajo lawa - we’re on a journey
N’ile aiye o – through life
Irin ajo lawa – we’re on a journey

VERSE 1
Asiko o duro d’eni kan rara – time awaits no one
Ko ma s’eda to mo ola o – for no one knows tomorrow
Ile aiye n’yi lo bi oriri – the world keeps spinning like a top
Ko ma duro d’enikan rara – awaiting no one

O ye ka te si waju – we ought to move forward
O ye ka ranti ola – we ought to remember tomorrow
O ye ka boju w'eyin – we ought to look behind us
O ye ka dake ekun – we ought to keep from crying

Ara e ye paro – folks, quit lying
Ara e ye jale – quit stealing
Ara e ye soso ku so o o– quit loose talking
Ara e ye paro – folks, quit lying
Ara e ye jale – quit stealing
Ara e ye soso ku so o o– quit the loose talking

VERSE 2
Asiko o tosi fun oni iwa ibi – time won’t benefit the wicked
Ko ma duro de ole o – it doesn’t serve the lazy fool too well
Ile aiye n’yi lo bi tire – it keeps turning like a tire
Koma duro d’enikan rara – awaiting no one

O ye ka te si waju – we ought to move forward
O ye ka l’oju anu– we ought to have compassion on others
O ye ka boju w'eyin – we ought to look behind us
O ye ka dake ekun – we ought to keep from crying
Ara e ye paro – folks, quit lying
Ara e ye jale – quit stealing
Ara e ye soso ku so o o– quit loose talking
Ara e ye paro – folks, quit lying
Ara e ye jale – quit stealing
Ara e ye soso ku so o o– quit loose talking
