[male

vocals] (

Heavy

percussion

builds

up)

Yeah,

we

celebrate

the

light

today

We

celebrate

the

wisdom

today

For

the

one

who

holds

the

secrets

For

the

one

who

guides

the

path

Oluwo,

we

stand

with

you

Let

the

festival

begin

Beneath

the

morning

sun

we

gather

in

the

square

The

energy

is

rising,

magic

in

the

air

We

honor

Ifatoye,

the

sage

of

the

truth

Passing

down

the

power

to

the

elders

and

the

youth

He

walks

with

the

grace

of

the

Orisha's

light

Turning

all

the

shadows

into

morning

bright

Arifajogun,

the

name

that

echoes

strong

In

the

rhythm

of

the

spirit,

we

all

belong

Oh,

we

celebrate

the

master

of

the

sacred

seal

Ifakayode,

keeping

all

the

spirits

real

Oluwo

Obara

Irosun,

stand

up

tall

We

answer

to

the

rhythm,

we

answer

to

the

call

It's

a

party

for

the

wisdom,

a

party

for

the

soul

Let

the

festival

energy

take

control

Look

at

the

colors

dancing

in

the

heat

of

the

day

Following

the

wisdom

that

the

ancestors

say

Ifatoye

is

chanting,

the

crowd

starts

to

move

Getting

in

the

pocket,

getting

in

the

groove

Arifajogun,

the

legacy

is

vast

Healing

all

the

future

by

honoring

the

past

No

looking

back,

we're

moving

to

the

beat

With

the

dust

of

the

festival

rising

round

our

feet

Oh,

we

celebrate

the

master

of

the

sacred

seal

Ifakayode,

keeping

all

the

spirits

real

Oluwo

Obara

Irosun,

stand

up

tall

We

answer

to

the

rhythm,

we

answer

to

the

call

It's

a

party

for

the

wisdom,

a

party

for

the

soul

Let

the

festival

energy

take

control

From

the

East

to

the

West,

let

the

spirit

ignite

We’

re

walking

in

the

power,

we’

re

walking

in

the

light

Oluwo,

guide

us,

show

us

the

way

We

celebrate

the

glory

on

this

festival

day

Louder

now,

let

the

drums

speak

clear

The

voice

of

the

wisdom

is

all

that

we

hear

Obara

Irosun,

the

sign

that

we

trust

Lifting

up

the

spirit,

rising

from

the

dust

Ifakayode,

you

lead

with

a

steady

hand

Bringing

all

the

peace

across

the

sacred

land

Everything

is

aligned,

the

energy

is

high

Underneath

the

canvas

of

the

open

sky

So

we

dance

for

the

knowledge,

we

dance

for

the

grace

Finding

our

rhythm

in

this

holy

place

Oh,

we

celebrate

the

master

of

the

sacred

seal

Ifakayode,

keeping

all

the

spirits

real

Oluwo

Obara

Irosun,

stand

up

tall

We

answer

to

the

rhythm,

we

answer

to

the

call

It's

a

party

for

the

wisdom,

a

party

for

the

soul

Let

the

festival

energy

take

control

Yeah,

we

celebrate

the

wisdom

today

Ifatoye,

we

honor

you

Arifajogun,

we

stand

with

you

Oluwo,

the

path

is

clear

The

festival

lives

forever (

Fade

out

with

heavy

drums)
