Intro
Eku ile, eku ile (welcome home)
Tales of our fathers dey live forever
Verse 1
Omo, sit down make I tell you story
From the days of old when we dey pursue glory
Grandmother's voice echo through the village square
Shekere dey play, everybody gather there
We dey pass down wisdom through the talking drum
Every beat dey speak the language of our kingdom
From Lagos to the forest, from the river to the sky
Our ancestors dey whisper, "never let it die"
Abi you know say the stories hold our soul?
Every song, every dance, make we whole
Chorus
Tales of our fathers, no dey fade away
Tales of our fathers, we sing every day
From the ancient time to this modern age
Our culture dey forever on the stage
Eku ile, eku ile, hear the call
Our folklore strong, standing tall
Verse 2
Chukwu bless the journey, bless the sacred ground
Where our people dey dance without a single sound
Highlife guitar mixing with the ancestral beat
Our traditions dey sweet, our legacy complete
Shey you see how the young ones learn the way?
From the songs and the stories of yesterday
Omo, this na more than music, this na pride
Our folklore dey live deep inside
Chorus
Tales of our fathers, no dey fade away
Tales of our fathers, we sing every day
From the ancient time to this modern age
Our culture dey forever on the stage
Eku ile, eku ile, hear the call
Our folklore strong, standing tall
Outro
E choke! (ad-lib)
Tales of our fathers
Forever and ever, amen
Eku ile
