wo whivo uhwore wo mwe mona ~ You killed the farmers and captured the children,

osuna gwa wan ~ The leaders has sent you

Abibro ohoyinmi gwolor bi olokpa ~ How many times have I wanted to put my armies,

Usu rhi o ranwa ~ round all your people

Ebe oniohon mono bie botor ribekpe Ron ye ~ Just as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings


beti wole rho vwe eeh ~ But you would not let me!

fiki rho tionyina, motor whe ko rie whi yo ~ And so your land will be abandoned and empty

Whro kenana yanra mevwewe ~ From now on I tell you

Wo bi mrevwe ofaa ~ You will never see me again

This is so sad... This is how i saw it...

When the parent advised the child, he refused to listen, now he's dead.

We pray to give birth to the once that will listen to us when we call

Deep indeed. A clear message to the heartless powerless powerfuls who create senseless wars for business purpose.

Thank you bro. Pls come back we are missing you
