Ọ̀rúnmìlà said it is sealed 

I disagreed 

It is widely open 

Bara-mi-Àgbọnìrègún 

When the forest 

Is densely thick 

It is the cutlass 

Who clears the path there 

Ọ̀rúnmìlà said it is sealed 

I responded 

It is widely open 

Bara-mi-Àgbọnìrègún

When the hair 

Is overgrown and thick 

The comb comes to fore 

To straighten it out 

Ọ̀rúnmìlà said it is sealed 

I deferred 

It is widely open Bara-mi-Àgbọnìrègún

When the pubic hair 

Of a woman is bushy 

The penis will always 

Navigate it's way through it 

I asked Orunmila 

If it is the case 

Of your own child 

Whose progress is stalled 

What shall we do 

To open up his pathways? 

Except the one 

Who offer for sacrifice 

Two cutlasses 

And a cock

He advised 

We’re ready 

With the requested items

Bara mi Agboniregun 

He promised to open up

All pathways to blessing 

That was hitherto blocked 

For any of his children

May Olódùmarè clear all hindrances blocking the way on your path to success. My prayer is for everything to work in your favor this bright new day. 

Àṣẹ.
