Oh Ogun!
Oh Ogun, you feed on dogs
Lakaaye, we have brought your meal
He who wants money will get it
He who wants children will get them
Because Ogun grants Money and children and joy
Lakaaye, Lakaaye, my father!
He's here and everywhere
Ogun is a deity Do not betray him
A great one is going home!
Greetings to our ancestors
A great one is going home
The elephant has fallen And can't get up
The descendant of the giant Masquerade
He died an honorable death
An honorable prince of a man A great Masquerade indeed
Oh weep
A great one is going home
The great one has gone on a journey Find an elephant, journey to the forest
To find buffalo, journey to the wild To find dry leaves, go under a tree
An elephant has fallen Goodbye to our great king
Our meeting can only be in dreams
The elephant has fallen
And can't get up
It is asleep like a mountain
The elephant has fallen
And can't get up
It is asleep like a mountain
Olajumoke's father
Has entered the cave in the ground
The elephant has fallen
And can't get up
It is asleep like a mountain…
Some people would prefer That the sun does not rise
But it rises anyway
In the eyes of others
The rain should not fall
But it falls anyway
One's destiny will Always come through…
It's time to head home
The night is here it is time to depart
It is time to depart…
…head home
The night is here
It is time to depart The night is here…
The night is here
The elephant has fallen and can't get up It is asleep like a mountain
The elephant has fallen And can't get up
It is asleep like a mountain
The elephant has fallen And can't get up
Elesin has failed us
Elesin has failed in his duty
Iyaloja warned Elesin About doing the right thing
But Elesin failed in his covenant He overturned things
He left our king midway
Between earth and heaven
Oh what a pity
It is time to depart
The night is here It is time to depart
The night is here
It's time to head home…
-It is time to depart -It is time to depart
The night is here
-It is time to depart -It is time to depart
The night is here
It's time to head home
The night is here
It's time to head home
When fire dies It covers itself with ashes
The banana dies And replaces itself with its offspring
The night is here
It is time to depart
The night is here it is time to depart
The night is here
It is time to depart
The night is here
It is time to depart
The night is here it is time to depart
The night is here
It's time to head home
