Barry Jhay, Root Music, Vstix – Ayeofe Lyrics in English (Translation)

O Le Le, O, O Omo
Call Me Barry
Oya See
Ati Wa Aye Ko Ni A Ri

Oh my, oh dear child,
Call me Barry, come and see —
We came into this world with nothing guaranteed.

Eni Ori Yo O Di Ile
Ile Koko Ni Ti Agbe
Ile Labo Simi Oko
Kekere La Ta Tin So Pe Fun Oju

The one blessed by destiny will eventually find peace at home.
Home is the farmer’s greatest treasure.
Home is where a traveler finally rests.
What looks small to the eyes may still hold great value.

Eni Awi Fun Oba Je Ogbo
Eni A Soro Fun Ona Je O Gba
Ma Je Ki Oya A Le Ti La Pa
Eso Pe Le La Aye Gba

A person who advises a king is wise.
The one warned about danger should listen carefully.
Do not let temporary troubles destroy you.
Life rewards patience and endurance.

Ore Mi Je Ki A Se Jeje
Ara La Mo A Mo Inu
Oju La Ri
A I Mo Inu Eni Kan

My friend, let us move gently through life.
We know the body, but not the heart within.
We only see faces,
No one truly knows another person’s mind.

Ti Won Ba N To N E
Ore Ma Tan Ara E
Ti Ori Ba N Yo E
Ore Yo Ara E

If people begin to praise you,
My friend, do not deceive yourself with pride.
If destiny lifts you high,
Carry yourself with humility.

Ko Si Eni Fe Ni Fun Ire
A Fi Ori Eni
Ayeofe O Jare
Eni O Fe Ooo
Eni Yan O Da

No one can hand success to you freely.
A person rises through their own destiny and effort.
The world is not always loving.
Some people will dislike you,
And some will betray you.

Eniyan O Fe Ka Gbe Eru Do Ori
Ori Eni Sha Lo N Ba Ni Gbe O

People do not truly want to carry another person’s burden.
In the end, it is your own destiny that carries you.

Eniyan O Fe Ka Re Ru Kaso
Ore E Ni
Ore E Ni

People do not willingly carry another’s load,
Even if they call themselves your friend,
Your friend.

Eniyan O Fe Ka Re Ru Kaso
Ori Eni Sha
Ori Eni Sha Lo Yo Ni

No one truly bears your struggles for you.
It is your own destiny,
Your own destiny that will save you.

Ile Aye Ta Wa Awa Na Ja Ni
Bo Pe Bo Ya
Ka Lu Ku A Pa Da Si Ile O

This world we fight and struggle in is temporary.
Sooner or later,
We all return back home after death.

Orun Sha Ni Ile
Orun Sha Ni Ile Gbogbo Wa

Heaven is the true home.
Heaven is the final home for all of us.

Bo Pe Boya A Ki Lo Lo A Pe Baba
Bo Pe Boya Agan A Pada Di Olomo
Olorun O Le Fi Wa Si Le Fun Iya Je
Ojojumo Yo Gbe Leyin Omo E

Perhaps one day we too will be called elders.
Perhaps the childless may one day become parents.
God will not abandon us to suffer forever.
Every day, He stands behind His children.

Ayeofe O Jare
Eni O Fe Ooo
Eni Yan O Da

The world is not always kind.
Some people will hate you,
Some will betray you.

Eniyan O Fe Ka Gbe Eru Do Ori
Ori Eni Sha Lo N Ba Ni Gbe O

People do not truly carry another person’s burden.
It is your own destiny that keeps you moving.

Eniyan O Fe Ka Re Ru Kaso
Ore E Ni
Ore E Ni

No one sincerely carries another’s struggles,
Even those called friends,
Even friends.

Eniyan O Fe Ka Re Ru Kaso
Ori Eni Sha
Ori Eni Sha Lo Yo Ni

Nobody can live your battles for you.
It is your own destiny,
Your own destiny that delivers you.

Eni Ori Yo O Di Ile
Ile Koko Ni Ti Agbe
Ile Labo Simi Oko
Kekere La Ta Tin So Pe Fun Oju

Whoever is blessed by destiny will find their way home.
Home is the farmer’s true wealth.
Home is where the traveler finds rest.
Small things should never be looked down upon.

Eni Awi Fun Oba Je Ogbo
Eni A Soro Fun Ona Je O Gba
Ma Je Ki Oya A Le Ti La Pa

The one who advises a king is wise.
The person warned about danger should listen.
Do not let life’s storms destroy your spirit.
