EJIIROSUN

(1)

Agilinti ni gboko ni pari

Konko ni gbodo ta piti

Alantakun ni gboko ni ranwu oginniginni

A difa fun Oyigi

Ti yoo bi Ela lomo

Iku to loun o pa oyigi

Ela omo re ni ko je o

Gbogbo ajogun ibi to ni awon yoo se Oyigi

Ela, omo re ni ko je o

 

 

It is agilinti that stays in the farm to get bald

It is toad that lives in the river to jump here and there

It is spider that stays in the farm to spine tread

Cast Ifa for Oyigi

Who gave birth to Ela

The death that would have killed Oyigi

Ela, her child was the one that prevented it

All evil forces that would have harmed Oyigi

Ela, her child was the one that prevented them

A dako, a da  roko

A dako, a da rodo

Ada-wa-mu_fooro jangan

A difa fun Eleko Idere

Ti yoo loro kale o to le

Eleko Idere

Sebi o loo jere?

O roso dudu

O roso pupa

O fayinrin gbaja

O fapoti tidi

O le kenka

Eleko Idere

Sebi o lo o jere

Ifa mase je kale oro o le mi

 

We buy corn pap

For taking to the farm

We buy corn pap

For taking to the river

Buying of pap squeeze inside water for drinking

Ifa revelation to the pap seller of idere

Who would became rich before old age

The pap seller of the city of idere

But, you still complain of not making profit

You put on black clothYou put on red cloth

You tie multi-coloured robe

You sit on a stool

You pose majestically

The pap seller of the city of idere

You still complain of not making profit

Ifa, do not let my wealth come belatedly.

Igba epo lo pon rerere

Bi eni pe yoo joni lowo

Bee ni ko le joni lowo

Lasan lolosun meji soju lasalasa

            Bi eni o loro ninu

            Irosun meji ko nika ninu

            A difa fun Orunmila

            Lojo ti Baba n jaye lile

            Alade fi elede rubo

Gbede

Lara o maa de wa lo

 

The calabash of palm oil is very red

As if it will scald one’s hand

But it cannot scald one’s hand

Olosunmeji ordinarily looks hard

Like somebody who arbours wickedness

Irosun meji does not possess wicked attribute

Cast ifa for Orunmila

When he was experiencing difficulty in life

Alade has sacrifice pig

Comfortable!

Our lives will

Eje logbo lo gbekun doyun

A difa fun Ibiolatiwa

Ti se omo onidere

Lojo to fe joye ile baba re

Ebo ni won ni o se

Riru ebo ni gbeni

Eru atatetu ni i da ladaju

Ogbun eyiku o

O wa dogbun eyiye.

 

Watery blood stays inside the stomach and becomes pregnancy

Ifa declaration for Ibiolatiwa

The one that was a child of Onidere

When he wanted to mount the throne of his father’s house

He was advised to offer sacrifice

Offering of sacrifice is what favours one

Quick performance of rituals in always efficacious

The pit inside which one fell and died

It then turned to the pit of survival.
