Nna! The road is long but the heart is strong
Oya, let the guitars play, we finally home
I traveled far, across the lands and the wide blue sea
But my heart stayed back where the rhythm belongs to me
Ajadaji, my people, I left you far behind
But your memory was the only thing on my mind
Every step I took, I was searching for the light
Living in the shadows, dreaming of the night
Now the journey ends, I am standing at the gate
No more running away, I am dancing with my fate
Oh, Ajadaji, I am coming home to stay
Chai! The sun is rising on a brand new day
Nothing like home, where the palm wine flows free
Every face is smiling, waiting there for me
Omo! My community, my pride and my soul
Coming back home makes a broken man whole
People ask me why I carry such a heavy load
Walking miles and miles on this dusty lonely road
They say if you leave, you might see a home away from home
But it’s only a vision for those who like to roam
But nothing tastes like the jollof in the pan
Nothing feels like the hand of a brother-man
I miss the laughter, the noise in the street
I miss the rhythm that makes my heart beat
Oh, Ajadaji, I am coming home to stay
Chai! The sun is rising on a brand new day
Nothing like home, where the palm wine flows free
Every face is smiling, waiting there for me
Omo! My community, my pride and my soul
Coming back home makes a broken man whole
Ah ah! The music is loud, the energy is high
Look at the stars shining in our native sky
We chop life tonight, we celebrate the return
Lessons in the fire, watch the spirit burn
I see my friends, I see the elders in the square
There is a special peace filling up the air
They say welcome back, we knew you’d find your way
Ajadaji is the place where you’re gonna stay
I feel the pulse, I feel the roots in the ground
This is the sweetest love that I have ever found
No more wandering, I have found my center here
Let the trumpets blow, let us conquer all the fear
Oh, Ajadaji, I am coming home to stay
Chai! The sun is rising on a brand new day
Nothing like home, where the palm wine flows free
Every face is smiling, waiting there for me
Omo! My community, my pride and my soul
Coming back home makes a broken man whole
Chop life! We home to stay!
Ajadaji is the place, yeah, we celebrate today
Nna, it's good to be back
Welcome home, welcome home, yeah!
