(Talking drum rhythm)
Odogwu n'eme ihe!
Nna, ndu bu mmanwu
Ewoo, o bughi egwuregwu!
Si na bu nwoke adighi mfe, nwanne m
Ahuhu m na-ahu, i ga-asina na m na-agba oso
M na-agba oso n'ebe nile, m na-achua ego
Ka sapa ghara ijide m n'aka
Ezigbo nwoke ga-agba mgba, o nweghi mgbe o na-ada mba
Onye ga-ele m anya ala? Mba!
Ibu Odogwu, i bu dike n'agha
I na-aru oru, i na-achua ndu
Nwoke adighi mfe, nna, i na-agba mgba
Odogwu, i na-ebuli isi elu
N'ihi na i mara ihe i na-acho
Odogwu, nna, i bu dike!
Otu ubochi i ga-aga n'obodo
I ga-aga n'etiti obodo gi, hie uzo
Ihe nile ga-adi mma, ekwela ka obi daa gi
Nwa chukwu, gawa n'iru, ndu di uto
Ihe ike nile ga-akwusi, icheta na i bu dike
Odogwu n'egwu, ebele n'eme!
Ibu Odogwu, i bu dike n'agha
I na-aru oru, i na-achua ndu
Nwoke adighi mfe, nna, i na-agba mgba
Odogwu, i na-ebuli isi elu
N'ihi na i mara ihe i na-acho
Odogwu, nna, i bu dike!
Chukwu gozie aka m, chukwu gozie ukwu m
Ebe m na-agba oso, chukwu na-edu m
Odogwu, i nweghi ihe ga-akwusi gi
I bu dike, i bu nwoke!
Ibu Odogwu, i bu dike n'agha
I na-aru oru, i na-achua ndu
Nwoke adighi mfe, nna, i na-agba mgba
Odogwu, i na-ebuli isi elu
N'ihi na i mara ihe i na-acho
Odogwu, nna, i bu dike!
Odogwu n'eme ihe
Nwanne, gaa n'iru
No dulling, Odogwu
Chukwu gozie gi!
