  • Yaba Daba Yoruba!

    Many thanks to the minister friend of mine in Yorkshire who has Nigerian students in his church, and who managed to get me a translation of 'O Happy Day' in Yoruba.

     

    Verse 1 and chorus:

     

    Ojo nla l'ojo ti moyan Olugbala l'Olorun mi,
    Oye ki okan mi mayo, Kosi ro ihin naa k'ale.

    Chorus-
    Ojo nla, l'ojo naa ti Jesu we ese mi nu,
    O komi ki nma gbadura, kin ma sora, ki nsi mayo,
    Ojo nla lojo naa ti Jesu we ese mi nu


    Big thanks to Rev Jev and Amos.
