REQ: Yoruba carol translation

[Douglas Raith]

Greetings to all,

I have a request for a friend who is organising a Xmas concert here in
Edinburgh, including a Yoruba carol. She's asked if I can get the words
translated into English so that the choir will know the meaning of the
Yoruba words they are singing. Here's the carol:

"GULOSO"

1. Gbon o-hun.. a-wo angeli tinkorin. (x2)
Kwon kori ogo ogo, (x3)
Gbon o-hun.. a-wo angeli tinkorin.

Guloso, abiamo fein so. (x3)

2. Gbon o-hun.. a-wo seraphim tinkorin. (x2)
Kwon kori ogo ogo, (x3)
Gbon o-hun.. a-wo seraphim tinkorin.

Guloso, abiamo fein so. (x3)

Thanks in advance for any help..

Doug.

Hi Doug,
This is the translation
1. Listen to the voices of the angels singing x2
They are singing songs of glory, They are singing songs of glory x3
Listen to the voices of the angels singing

2. Listen to the voices of the seraphs singing x2
They are singing songs of glory, They are singing songs of glory x3
Listen to the voices of the seraphs singing

sorry, I do not know what Guloso means, but the remaining part roughly
refers to
A nursing mother using her back to carry her child

[Julius Adewumi]

"Guluso" is the name of an insect which walks backwards.
The song uses "Guluso" in relating it to a nursing mother back-packing
her baby. No translation necessary; "Guluso" simply must be imported
intoto.
