Repost: Iye mi-Ode to my Mother...

I love my mother as the trees love water and sunshine - she helps me grow, prosper, and reach great heights.


It's my mum's birthday today, the above statement best describes my woman who i owe my life to asides God. 

Iye mi-Ode to my Mother...:


Yeye mi
Iyaniwura
Iya rere ni iyami
Orisa bi iya osi
Orisa mi
Ayo mi
Idunu re, idunu mi

Mama mi
Modupe ojo ti obi mi
Mo dupe, itoju to fun mi
Mo dupe. eko ti o ko mi

Ayo re o ni di ibanuje
Wahala re lori omo ko ni jasi asan
Eni ele ni o ni gba ise re se
Oni subu da a nu
Wa jeun omo tidi ojo ale
Wa jere omo
Oni fi oju sunkun omo

Translation

My mother
Precious mother
My mother is a good mother
There is no deity like a mother
My deity
My joy
Your happiness is my happiness

My Mother
I thank you for the day you gave birth to me
I thank you for the care you gave to me
I thank you for all you taught me

Your joy shall not turn to sadness
Your trouble on the child shall not be in vain
No one else will take your place
You shall reap the fruit of your labour
