lyrics

ISÉ OLÚWA KÒ LÈ BÀJÉ (GOD'S WORKS CAN'T BE DESTROYED)
It is a religious song from the Yoruba Tribe of Nigeria, sung in the Yoruba language and well known throughout the world. Composed in the early 19th century by an anonymous Composer.

Isé Olúwa kò lè bàjé o
Ise Olúwa kò lè dàrú o
Ohun a fi ìfé se, kò lè bàjé o.
Ohun a fi ìfé se, kò lè dàrú o.

Ojó mo ti n rókun, kò gbe rí
Ojó mo ti n rósà , kò mà gbe
Ojó mo ti n rórun , kò já lulè
Isé Elédùmarè ni.

Ilè n sú, Ilè n mó,
Olójó n ka ojó, Èdá mà sùn
Àìtètèjí inú Òtá n dádùn
Ají tán, inú n bí baba won

Isé Olúwa kò lè bàjé o
Ise Olúwa kò lè dàrú o
Ohun a fi ìfé se, kò lè bàjé o.
Ohun a fi ìfé se, kò lè dàrú o.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION :
God's works (creation) can't be destroyed
God's works can't be disrupted

All done in love can't be destroyed,
All done in love can't be disrupted

Since I have been seeing the ocean, it has never dry
Since I have been seeing the sea, it has not gotten dried
Since I have been seeing the firmament, it has not dropped down
It's God's doings.

The dawn comes and evening goes by, and the Creator counts the days.
Being sluggish to wake up, the enemies are happy, gotten up from sleep, the enemy's households became sad and disappointed.

God's works (creation) can't be destroyed
God's works can't be disrupted
All done in love can't be destroyed,
All done in love can't be disrupted.
