Asa Wa Ko Gbodo Pare : Our Culture Must Not Die by samuelkew(m): 1:36pm On May 10, 2013 |
ASA WA O GBODO KU OUR CULTURE MUST NOT DIE Agutan lawo, sugbon aja at’elede niise Sheep in the form, but dog and pig is she Eni a fokantan bi awokose the one trusted to be a role model To wa yo poro lo o te l’ole who instead vanish with a thieves Won n labee re lagbayipo they lick her stew rotationally Okete bo’ru oju ode mo rodent slip away through it tail Inu ibepe tako ewaa re the seed inside of pawpaw isn’t its beauty Ebi wa lowo eni ani ko wa jeun blame the one invited to eat To palemo to jelerun who claimed all and devoure the house Eni a gberi re je nko? the one whose testimony defended To di amenu kuro gboju foda oro becomes a must ignored and overlooked Ase wiwi ko ni sise taara saying is not the same as doing Oga tii se alagemo lo gbode kan chameleon are spread all over the land Ewa lo gun-un, etan lo dun mo beauty puffed her up, deception sweetened her Afe aye lo faa lo the love of pleasure dragged her away Afarawe lo taa leru imitation sold her a slave O ti bo it’s lead to cull de sac Aso o bomoye mo clothe could not suffice for Omoye. Omoye ti rin’hoho woja omoye had gone to the market naked Lanke ti lo tefetefe Lanke had vanished permanently Asiri kan sib o die ni the secret is just still covered Akara le tu sepo nigbakugba bean pudding may loose in oil Sugbon ki lebii mi but what is my fault Mo p’ole wa’le invited the thieves to the house Mo ro p’onile ko nigba f’ole, I thought the owner would resist the thieves Mo p’eni anu wale I invited the lost one home Ko wa darapo m’egbe to join the group Agbasalaruge tiwantiwa of indigenous culture preservers Sugbon awon agbasalaruge gan-an but the preservers themselves Niwon ta asa l’ofe, sold the culture for free To fi n d’oro itan that it’s becoming a mere history Okan pakan je, ej’eeji, et’eeta one by one, twos and threes Ni kalokalo, eni anu n fiwon lata the devourer,the lost,feed on them Bi ere Ayo, o d’oro kanka like Ayo game, but it’s now serious Ikoleru ironu, t’asipe l’olaju enslavement of the mind misrepresent as civilization Ti je gbogbo ile run tan. has devoured the entire house Ariwo d’orin lode oni Organized noise becomes music today Awon alariwo kun n lowo the noise makers indeed are rich Isekuse la n pe l’eto omo eniyan abomination is being called human right B’ina ba ku a feeru b’oju when the fire dies the smoke succeeds it Bogede ku af’omo re ropo the banana dies and the sucker succeeds it Awon opo t’oye ko di’lemu ti feeye tan, the pillars are almost fallen Oro sunnukun, ha! Oro sunnukun, complex issue, ha! Complex issue Asa ati ise wa ti di irira leti ewe iwoyi our culture is irritating to the youth of today Ki la o ti se’yi si? how shall we solve this? Eewo ko lat ko’sa elomiran to ba ti dara foreign culture is not forbidden, if it’s good Sugbon atoyin ati majele ladapo but honey and poison, we’ve mixed together Bi ebun L’owo awon atohunrinwa as gifts from the straingers. O d’owo awon Ojogbon, it’s left unto the professors and sages Omowe, at’awon Agbaagba doctors and all elders At’wa ti ko tii so asa nu and we that haven’t thrown our culture away Toto!, ose bi owe agba, Toto! It’s like a proverb of the elders P’agba kii wa l’oja that if an elder is at the market k’ori omo tuntun the head of the baby mustn’t bend Ori ti wo naa oo! the head is bent already Bi a se maa t’orise l’oku it’s now how to correct the head K’ori ma ba ye kuro l’orun that it may not break from the neck T’ori ba ti ye, iku de niyen oo… if it breaks, death comes certainly.
