Earth I call you

Deified ancestors I call you

Greetings to the Egungun of Ife, Ifa has descended into the world

I salute you Egun

Protect me Olofi

Protect me Orunmila

Protect me Egun

Esu support my efforts

I have time to worship the Egun

I praise you Olofi

One who has no time strays madly into the forest

Do not let us die during the year

Prevent the death of the children, prevent the death of the wife

Our homes are entrusted to your care

Let us multiply and increase

Save us from the fury of Ogun

I salute (call upon the names of all known departed ancestors)

Do not forget us
