Akogun Eda

Akogun Eda

E ba mi wa eda 
Eda adapa lo soja
Eda to lori meji
Eda abaya ganga

E gbe kini yi wa
Emi lokan
Egbeje kole daa duro
Egbeegberun ko to bee pelu
Emi lokunrin meta soso

Afefe ko gburo obolo
Onidiri ko ya dori re mu
Alagemo ko moyi arisa
Ko kete ile yaa yera ajeku

A ba moni; a ba wariri
A ba moni; a ba gberi
Iku tii pa ojude eni
A kilo firi, a ba yeri

Eda kan soso ajanaku
Eda kan soso, ogbologbo
Eda kan soso, ogbontarigi
Eda kan soso, larin egbeegberun
