Listen to me ¹omobinrin ti ile
Listen to me carrier of the unborn
It's okay to not be okay
It's fine; you're allowed to break
Hear you that the gods call ²Ibukun
You don't have to hide ³olufe mi
You don't have to cower
Cry if you want to;
But remember ⁴òkàn eléwa
In you lies men of worth
In you lies the Fathers men
*'Echefuna nwanyi'ike
In you is hidden treasures of the earth
Gold, diamond and all the beauty there is
So rise up for tomorrow awaits you
Arise for in your hands our tomorrow lies
Arise *Arewa
Arise; fight for you
Arise **lagbara obinrin
Arise; fight for tomorrow
Fight ***Ajagun ilé
Fight for the world awaits you
Fight for you are a woman of great strength
Fight, again I say, fight.
