Child of land
Urhobo, Oma r’ode
(Urhobo, child of the land)
Oghene r’ode vwe mu’gho
(God of the land, bless us)
Erhi r’ode no vwe r’ode
(The spirit of the land walks with the land)
Avo r’ode r’oro vwo
(Ancestors of the land, speak)
Oma r’ode vwo kpe kpe
(Children of the land, gather in peace)
Ejo r’ode vwo godo godo
(Wisdom of the land flows like a river)
Okpako r’ode vwo r’ume
(Elders of the land, teach us)
Ivie r’ode vwo je se

Ughere r’ode vwo se vwo
(The strength of the land makes us whole)

(Ancestors of the land guide our steps)
Oma r’ode vwo j’oma

(Fear not, stand firm, walk boldly)
Akpo r’ode no r’ume
(The world of the land surrounds us)
Ogono r’ode no r’ume
(The beauty of the land surrounds us)
Orhoro vwo, vwo, vwo
(Life continues, continues, continues)
Oma r’ode vwo ghere
(Children of the land rejoice)
Urhobo vwo, vwo, vwo!
(Urhobo live, live, live!)
