Iba se mi
Iba se wo
Ee je ki won su si oko alai roju
Won ma su si oko alairoju
Idi ni won gbodo duro nu ni be
Adifafun Orunmila Ajana
Ni Ojo ti ori e ko ire
Ti Aya re gba ibi
Ohun se ori mi ko ibi oo
Kohunko (2x)
Aya mi gba ire ooo
Gbarigba(2x)
Translation:
If could be me
If could be you
Doesn’t allow any one to excrete in a forbidden land
We can excrete in a forbidden land
Only ones Must wait to clean his/her anus there
Ifa divination was performed for Orunmila Ajana
On the day his head(destiny) rejected goodness
And his destiny was accepting bad luck
Orunmila started singing that his head have started to reject bad luck
And his destiny have accepted good luck....
Interpretation:
This odu ifa talks about life as competition among everyone living on earth and also the challenges we put ourselves into by comparing ourselves to other people, forgetting we all choose different destiny, most death today, bad things happening, criminal case, killing one another, all such of atrocity committed is as a result of people wanting to be like other people by all means and at all cost. The message of this ifa says never compare yourself with anybody, either the people you are trying to compare yourself with are wealthy or rich, if things are going well for you never use them to oppress or push other people to do what they might not have wanted to do and if things are not yet good for you, be patient, keep to your Ori and wait for your time. Always believe that soon it will get to your turn and never loose hope.
