ADUNNI

ADUNNI

Adunni,let me be lost in your heart

For i listen not to the Hunter's trumpet

Adunni,let me go astray in your thoughts

For i give unto you all that i bear

.

Let us make a journey for the gods

And see them speaks into us

Let us grace the showcasing of our heritage

And let the dances feed our sight mightily

.

Let us take a step into the rocky Ado-ekiti

And listen to ewi's ewi at udiroko

Let's take a walk at the feet of olosunta

And listen to the earthen therein

.

Let's mount our camel into ijebu land

And see how ojude oba goes

Let's make a turn back to osun

And feel the valour of osun-osogbo festival

.

let us branch at the Alaafin's palace

And say hello to iku baba yeye

Ooni will be extremely gracious

To have us see the beautifulness of oduduwa staff

.

Adunni let's  climb into fame and splendour

At the Mare festival at idanre

Let us chant the stanzas of olumo anthem

And view the world as it rotates
