(Oja flute solo)
Chukwu okike, nne anyi ala,
Obi oma, nti na-ege nti,
Oge eruola ka anyi chetara ebe anyi si,
Odibalugbo! (Eeeh!)
Nna anyi ha hapuru anyi iheoma,
Omenala anyi bu ugo na-efe,
Oja na-ada n'ime obi,
Ihe a bu mmanu na ndu,
Anyi bu umu nne n'otu obi,
Odinma na-eso anyi ije,
Ndi gboo, ndi mbu, ndi ama,
Anyi na-ekele unu na nsopuru.
Odibalugbo, odibalugbo o,
Nke ochie na-echete ebe anyi si,
Oja na-ada, drum na-eti,
Odi n'ime mkpuru obi anyi,
Odibalugbo, odibalugbo o,
Oge gboo na-abia n'ime uwa,
Ndi be anyi, biko nu,
Ka anyi jide ihe anyi nwere.
Udo na-achi n'ime ala nna,
Nnukwu osisi na-eche anyi,
Omenala anyi bu oke nnunu,
O naghi ada n'ala,
Kwere na chi, kwere na nne,
Ihe anyi nwere bu akonobi,
Oja na-echeta ihe di n'ime,
N'ime uche, n'ime nmuo.
Odibalugbo, odibalugbo o,
Nke ochie na-echete ebe anyi si,
Oja na-ada, drum na-eti,
Odi n'ime mkpuru obi anyi,
Odibalugbo, odibalugbo o,
Oge gboo na-abia n'ime uwa,
Ndi be anyi, biko nu,
Ka anyi jide ihe anyi nwere.
(Oja flute interlude)
Uwa na-agbanwe, ma anyi adighi,
Odinma, oge gboo,
Chukwu, gozie ala anyi,
Gozie umu anyi,
Kaa anyi di, kaa anyi mma.
Odibalugbo, odibalugbo o,
Nke ochie na-echete ebe anyi si,
Oja na-ada, drum na-eti,
Odi n'ime mkpuru obi anyi,
Odibalugbo, odibalugbo o,
Oge gboo na-abia n'ime uwa,
Ndi be anyi, biko nu,
Ka anyi jide ihe anyi nwere.
Odibalugbo... (Oja fades out)
Ihe anyi bu ihe anyi,
Obi oma,
Ife n'ime anyi,
