And inhabited the lowlands,

Tí a sì ń gbé ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀,

And trod upon thorns,

Tí a sì ń rìn lórí ẹ̀gún,

And forgot our saddles,

Tí a sì gbàgbé àwọn gàárì wa,

And found pleasure in catastrophic death,

Tí a sì rí ọjọ́ tó wà lọ́wọ́ bí ẹni pé ó lọ́ra.

Mo ti di olòṣì,

Not owning a night's shelter.

Tí n kò ní ibùjókòó fún alẹ́ kan.
