Ide Imariwo o, Ide Imariwo
Elu e – dugbe dugbe!
Igodomigodo! Igodomigodo!
Igodomigodo !! Igodomigodo!!
Omo n’Oba, son of Ogiso Akenzua
The curtain has been pulled, your
mortality enforced. So, journey well.
In Edaiken Eheneden, the royal blood
of the Ogiso’s flows on. So, travel well.
Regale Eweka, Ewedo, Udagbedo,
Uwafiokun, Eware, Ovoranmwen, your
Grandfather, Eweka II and all who went
ahead of the land of Edo. The peace you
brought, the fruitfulness of the land.
Solomon, Igbinoghodua, Aiseokhuoba
Son of Akenzua II, Igodomigodo hails you.
Iyase Igbe, leader of Eghaeuho N’ore
broke the Osorhue! Eeewo!!! Eeewo!!!!
But Eheneden has been prepared,
Your son is ready to lead … your subjects ready.
Look back, bestow the land with your blessing.
