To endure the noise.

Láti fara dà áwàdà.

And bear the pressure.

So I became a companion of obedience.

Nítorí náà, mo di ẹlẹgbẹ́ ìgbọ́ràn.

And I joined the group.

Mo sì darapọ̀ mọ́ ẹgbẹ́ náà.

Until we reached a gathering that included the notable and the obscure.

Títí tí a fi dé ìpàdé tí ó ní àwọn oni mimọ̀ àti àwọn olugbabgerá.

And in the midst of its aura.

Ní àárín àwòsanma rẹ̀.

And in the midst of its people.

Ní àárín àwọn èèyàn rẹ̀.

An old man who had become bent and stooped.

Àgbàlagbà kan tí ó ti tẹ̀, tí ẹ̀yín rẹ̀ naa tí tẹ̀.

And had worn a turban and a cloak.

Ó sì wọ́ ìbòrí àti aṣọ ìbora.
