This is an attempt at remembering... It is the better part of 40 years! Someone else can fill in or correct. Yoruba language is a beauty, to write, to read and to listen to!

Baba re lee lowo lowo
Iya re lee lesin lekan
Bi o ba gboju le won,

Se kii lee to ojo
Ohun ti a ba fi ara sise fun
Nii pe lowo eni

Mura si ise ore mi
Ise ni a fii di eni giga
