Alashe L'Aiye

The caretaker of the earth, the caretaker of heaven
Father, father, father, I want to work
The caretaker of the earth, the caretaker of heaven
Father, father, father, I want to work

The wonders you have done in my life are obvious to me
I thank you, friend yesterday
I thank you again, friend today
My friend who stood by me when I had nothing
Good fortune is yours
Continue to be with me as you have been
Don't stop

I am not God
The kind king who comforts me
I am not God
The kind king who comforts me

May my voice be heard, my father
May my dance be recognized
May my voice be heard, my father
May my dance be recognized by you

Dance brightly
Dance brightly
Let the Ibo on the ground dance brightly
Dance brightly
Dance brightly
Let the Ibo on the ground dance brightly

The staff I hold that makes a resounding sound
Shekere, the king, in the house of the Lord
That's what you will play
The staff I hold that makes a resounding sound
Shekere, the king, in the house of the Lord
That's what you will play

God called me, I did not call him
It cannot fail
It cannot fail
Say it so that I can hear
It cannot fail
It cannot fail
