lyrics

Yoruba (English below)

Mo n’duro fun Olorun un abuLe wa
Mo n’duro fun ebi mi un Oluwa wa a
Nilo lati adura ati ṣiṣe f’omode wa
Lati ko omode wa leko bawo lati ija
Ki o si fun won igbekele
Nipa fifi apeere ti igbekele
Gbo temi emi o nii lo
Laisi Idile Adulawo
Olorun nigbagbogbo ṣe akiyesi
Ati bi baba ti ri beeni omo ri
Ko ye ka sun, nigba ogun
Nigbati l’owo otun ti Olorun
Sugbon ninu gbogbo nkan won yii awa
Ju aṣegun lo nipa eni ti o fe wa
Nitorinaa o ye ka dide ati ko
jokoo ri tabi a di oloogbe
o ye ka ṣe

English:

I stand for God and my Village
I stand for my family and our God
We need to pray and work for our children
To teach them how to fight
And give them confidence
By being an example of confidence
Listen to me, I will not go
Without The Black Family
God is always aware
And as the father is, so is the son
We should not sleep during war
while at the right hand of God
"but in all things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us”
therefore we should stand
and never sit or be deceased
We should
