MAN-N-KARMA!!!

Ti ikoko ba nse isu;

Enikan ki  ngbo, sugbon,

Ti odo ba ngunyan;

Ni ariwo ma nta;

Okiki ma ntan kari aye;

Ohun tio ba gbin;

Oun lo ma ka;

Boje ire lo mo nse;

Ore mi, maa se niso;

Boje ibi lo mo nse;

Ore mi, maa se niso;

You’ve got your liberty;

Bope boya esan ake;

Welewele ni ina njo o;

To ba d’oko, amilengbe;

Ohun tio ba gbin;

Oun lo ma ka.

Aki ngbin alubosa;

Ka kore agbado;

Ohun tio ba gbin;

Oun lo ma ka.

TRANSLATION

If the pot is cooking yam;

Nobody gets to hear, but,

If the pestle starts pounding;

It’s then the noise roars;

Fame spikes round the earth;

Whatsoever you sow;

Is what you'll reap.

Is it amity you’re used to doing?

Friend, keep on doing it.

Is it evil you’re inclined to?

Friend, keep on doing it.

You’ve got your liberty;

Soon sooner, reward will sprout;

Slowly does fire burns initially;

But, would turn wild in farm;

Whatsoever you sow;

Is what you'll reap.

We do not plant onion;

And harvest maize;

Whatsoever you sow;

Is what you'll reap.
