The bell rang with black cloud
Birds sang amidst Crowd
AKINJOLE! AKINJOLE!! AKINJOLE!!!
Cock crowed with a loud voice.
Fears overruled the wind
Towns scattered
War is near Ejigbo living field
War enslaved sokoto
War captured Ilorite
Never in my fatherland.
Ejigbo in the dark moment
The sweetest voice climbed the mountain
AKINJOLE! our father rescued the
moment.
Seriously drumming triggering the town
The Agba's and Offi dance to Bòòsá
Beaten the Bata in celebration
"Ogun ko sokoto,
Ogun ko ilorin,
Ogun o ko Ejigbo ri, e ma jaya oja
Akinjole baba wa ni"
Akinjole's sculpture of defense
Exceptional among the rests
The black cloud regained whitish
Joy overflowed the town of peace
Yam dance rounded the market.
"Ogun ko sokoto,
Ogun ko ilorin,
Ogun o ko Ejigbo ri, e ma jaya oja
Akinjole baba wa ni"
Ogiyan flowns his garments
Market square full of reasonable animals
The Virginis voice tune the crowd
It's Ogiyan festival dancing round Ejigbo.
