Ballad for the king Owa Clement Adesuyi Haastrup Ajimoko III
Owa Clement Adesuyi Haastrup Ajimoko III by Adejola Joseph
Sagacious king
Prudent king
You are an embodiment of knowledge
Encyclopedia of principles
One in a trillion
A king with an uncommon grace
I jealous your star my king
A king like no other
Ade a pe lori yin sir
Bata a pe lese yin
Irukere a di okinni my king
You stepped in with grace and glory
May your reign bring peace stability and progress
May you last a lifetime
And may your kingdom emancipate all and sundry
May birds chirp like birds
May rats squeak like rats
And may humans sound like humans under your reign my king
Amen and amen.
