Iwure Odun (New Year Prayer)

Iwure Odun (New Year Prayer)

Koso lawo Ajiu
Ikeke, Ikeke
Ipese lawo Ajilu igburii, igburu
Bi Babalawo meji ba rira won
Won a se opon Ifa
Won Ase irukere ti emi ti emi
Adifa fun ori tii se Alaba waye eni
Ninu odun yii
Ori mi ytoo ma ran mi se

Koso
it is a drum to beat
Early in the morning
Ipese an ancient drum
Is the drum of a great sound
When two Ifa priests meet
They tap their Ifa wooden tray
With a sound of melody
They wave their horse tails to chase evils away
Ifa divination was performed for the Head
Who is a great assistance in one's life
This year my Ori will lift up my live
