O se ose!
Friendly with everyone;
A foe with nobody!
True Ijegba you were,
if an Ijesa by blood
Egba by residence and
affiliation could be so described!
Mo ti r’Ogun lo foso!
Truly!
If how we mourn the dead,
dead as dodo,
we care for ill-healthed;
none, and I mean none
will the grim reaper answer!
Yeepa!
Everyone’s too busy
doing nothing
for the ailing to care!
Mo ti r’osa lo foso!
But when they die
we conveniently find
time to pay our condolences!
Igbi mo dele!
Where did death find you?
On a bed in an
ill-equipped hospital?
Mio reni mi!
Gone with that Sunny smile
that gave everyone that encountered
you some hope in a hopeless situation!
Oju mi n s’omi gbere!
Gone with that courage
you gave everybody
that came your way!
O se ose
Like an evil wind blowing
us, the remaining,
a deathly air,
that one day will be one day
