TO’JU IWA RE, ORE MI, APA KINNI

To’ju iwa re, ore mi,
Ola a ma si lo n’ile eni
Ewa a si ma si l’ara enia.
Olowo oni nd’olosi b’o d’ola,
Okun l’ola, okun n’igbi oro,

Gbogbo won l’o nsi lo n’ile eni;
Sugbon iwa ni n’ba ni de saree,
Owo ko je nkan fun ni.
Iwa l’ewa omo eniyan,
Bi o l’owo bi o ko ni’wa nko?

Tani je f’inu tan e ba s’ohun rere?
Tabi ki o je obirin rogbodo,
Ti o ba jina si’wa ti eda nfe,
Tani je fe o s’ile bi aya?
Tabi ki o je onijibiti eniyan,

Bi o tile mo iwe amo’daju
Tani je gbe’se aje fun o se?
Toju Iwa re, ore mi,
Iwa ko si, eko d’egbe
Gbogbo aiye ni ‘nfe eni t’o je rere

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Enhance your character, my friend
Prosperity could depart from one’s home
And beauty could retreat from people’s bodies
Today’s rich could become poor tomorrow

Opulence is like ocean’s surfs; it is like ocean’s waves
They come and go from one’s home as they please
But, only good character follows one to the grave
Money is not everything to anyone

Good character is the beauty of a mortal,
What if you are wealthy without good character
Who would trust you with something serious?
Perhaps, you are a gorgeous woman

If you are far from societal norms
Who would marry you as a wife?
Or you are a fraudulent person
Maybe you are well educated

Who would transact business with you?
Enhance your character, my friend
In the absence of character, education is a waste
The whole world appreciates a well-mannered person

TOJU IWA RE ORE MI 2 (ENGLISH TRANSLATION)

Improve your character my dear friend
Wealth can diminish from the house of a person
Beauty do desert the body of a person
However, it's character that doesn't abandon a person even to the grave
Character is like a smoke, it will hazy up eventually
Living a distance away can’t give honour
But with closeness, we learn to know persons' real attributes
Character does not leave where it is embodied
It is a child's character that gives the child a name
Even if a child is fine, there is still a need for character
Even if the body is fine, there is still a need for clothing
Even if the feet look fine, there is still a need for shoes
If a person is fine but doesn't have good character
He/She is missing something very valuable indeed
Good character is a person's jewel
Patience is the progenitor of character; Character is the progenitor of blessings)
You had better improve your character my dear friend

Itumo ni Ede Geesi (Translation in English language)

The antidote to poverty is hard work
So work hard, Dear Friend
Success only comes through hard work
When there is no one to rely on
It’s like we are lazy
When there is no one to trust
We focus on our work
Your mum may be rich
Your dad may own a thousand and one horses
If you rely on their wealth
You are sinking fast to your shame
Whatever we do not work for
Will not last
It is what we strive for
That endures
Your arms and elbows are your family
If you are feted by society today
If you are still rich, they will fete you tomorrow as well
When you hold an esteemed position
You will be regarded with great joy
Just wait and become a pauper
And see how you will be treated with disdain
Education can take you to the top
Study hard
The unwise will surely regret their folly
The outcome for lack of planning is tears
Don’t waste your early years
Make hay while the sun shines.
