LYRICS + TRANSLATION

Olulana (Waymaker)
Baba wa bamise (Father help me)

Wife go chop pikin go chop
Bawase o (Help us) Our Lord
On top your door we dey knock o
Baba bless our work o
No be beans to be man
Make your hand show us how to plan
Chop the good for the land o
Adura wa leyi o (This is our prayer)
Nigbogbo ohun ta’a ba dawole (In all that we lay our hands on)
Ka ma’a ri batise (Let us find headway)
Ka ma’a r’ona gbe’gba (Let us find a way)
L’ola Oluwa ise wa’a d’ola (By the grace of God, our work will succeed)
Nigbogbo ohun ta’a ba dawole

Olulana (Waymaker)
Baba wa bamise (Father help me)

If you no dey, then it’s all over
Every day, we dey look to You – put us through
Time no dey to come be dey buga o (There’s no point bragging)
So Jesu biko come through
We no be superman o (We are no super men)
As we dey tiraka, and we dey work (As we work hard)
So our family go fit chop
Our wives go dey happy with us
But without your blessing e no go work
As we dey tiraka, we dey work
So our family go fit chop
Our wives go dey happy with us
God no go shame us o

Olulana (Waymaker)
Baba wa bamise (Father help me)
