Igbago o peee…Ooo eeee
Igbago o pe kawa mosoro
Awa osoro ile wao
Mo juba Akoda…Mo juba Aseda,
Mojuba awon iya mi osoronga
Ajigini…Arin gini
Arin gini gini woja ti kije keru o
bomode titi d’ojo ale.
mo juba o.
Giving honor to the creator, honor to the ancestors, honor to the elders, honor to this house of worship, and honor to Medahochi’s entire family, friends, and distinguish guests. We are here today celebrating the living legacy of Baba Medahochi. He’s not just a baba for us. He’s a priest. He’s the Oba.
-----oba o oba alase, oba
Oba toto bi aro
Oba o oba alase, oba
Oba rere bi osun
---oba o oba alase oba
Mothers!!!!! Fathers!!! Brothers and Sisters!!!
Knowing I will get sick…I breathe in
Knowing I can’t escape sickness…I breathe out.
Knowing I will have to go home one day…I breathe in
Knowing I can’t escape going home one day…I breathe out.
Knowing that one day, I will have to abandon all that I cherish today…I breathe in
Knowing that I can’t escape to abandon all that I cherish today…I breathe out
Knowing that my actions are my only belongings…I breathe in
Knowing that I cannot escape the consequences of my actions…I breathe out
Vowing to offer joy each day to my beloved…I breathe in
Vowing to ease the pain of my beloved…I breathe out.
Brothers!!! and Sisters!!!! Medahochi is not gone. He has just relocated. He has a new address—somewhere that we can not go right now. However, one day, we shall see him again with his magical pick (tooth pick). With my due respect I’ll say:
Aje rere niti rere
Oro mi digba orin loni…Igba eni
Igba eni niwaiye
Igba orin ni losalakeji
Oro teromi base lale’odo
Eja ni won fi bi
Ese ti moba seiye loni
Ki e fi b’omo elominnnnn
Mo juba!!!
