Ojulopesi

Ènìyàn n'sáré àtilà sùgbón, kìràkìtà ò dolà.
Omo adáríhurun n'sebí elédùà sùgbón, Oba òkè dáké.

Mákànjúolá òré èmi.
Ohun tí ò tó léèní yoo sékù lóla.

Ojúlópésí, ìyókù d'owó adániwáyé.
Sa ipáàre sùgbón má Sàáré àsápajúdé

Ànfàní ni'lé ayé jé, a ósì bi é bí o se ti lò.
Àkosílè èdá kii tàsé, orí eni ló'ndire.

Má gbèrò kii tenì kejì bàjé, sebí oti mo.
Ìgbìnyànjú re, Olórun mò si

Bópé bóyá, ìyókù yoo dèrò.
Mádùúró, Márèwèsì, Ìyókù d'owó eledùà

I wish I could understand this... Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
