Ijo Gelede

My darling, you are wealthy, aren't you? (Yes)
The wealthy are flamboyant.
The flamboyant become ostentatious.
A calabash filled with money has no use for love.
When the talking drums sound like gunshots, we know the world is about to end.

My name is Qdot.
I can play the talking drum very well, if you can dance, join me.
Batá drummers, sèkèrè drummers, lift up your heads and dance like masquerades.
Come out, come out, let's all dance like masquerades.
Can you dance like the Ooni of Ife? (The sèkèrè is dancing with him)
Can you prostrate like the Alaafin of Oyo (the sèkèrè is dancing with him)
The sèkèrè is dancing with him (the sèkèrè is dancing with him)

I don't care and I don't want to know, come and dance with me (dance with me)
When the talking drum is played, let's all dance (dance with me)
If you are a dancer, you are royalty (dance with me)
When I get to my hometown, I'll dance and have a good time (dance with me)
Yebariba sanboribobo

I am Yoruba, don't let me hear you say it again.
Let's not be lost, let's not lose our culture.
The town's queen wants to talk to the talking drums, what does she have to say?
"The sèkèrè sounds like shiki-shiki"
If the talking drum is played, the gong sounds like gan-gan, gan-gan.

I can play the talking drum very well, if you can dance, join me.
Batá drummers, sèkèrè drummers, lift up your heads and dance like masquerades.
Come out, come out, let's all dance like masquerades.
Can you dance like the Ooni of Ife? (Come on, dance like a king)
Can you prostrate like the Alaafin of Oyo (death to the father of fools)
Dance like the Alake, dance like the Awujale, dance like the Olubadan

I don't care and I don't want to know, come and dance with me (dance with me)
When the talking drum is played, let's all dance (dance with me)
If you are a dancer, you are royalty (dance with me)
When I get to my hometown, I'll dance and have a good time (dance with me)
Yebariba sanboribobo (dance with me)

My name is Qdot (dance with me)
Dance like a slave and dress like a king (dance with me)
The sèkèrè is the drum of sorrow (dance with me)
All the children of Oduduwa love it, come and dance with me.
Ayefele, listen to me, I'm making history
Mr. D.J., this is my town, let's get up (let's get up)
Everybody who's been sleeping, wake up!

My name is Qdot (dance with me)
My talking drum is very heavy, but I can handle it (dance with me)
I.D.D Dende (dance with me)
Sulaimon Yoboro, Sunday Ibadan, Murphy Ijebu (dance with me)
All the inumidun groups, let's come together (dance with me)
Oni maalu, Sunday, come and get some money (dance with me)
I know Sokopal, I know Femi Jasper (dance with me)
Efele ni'jebu, Muri Thabitar (dance with me)
Sir Kuti, the son of a great father (dance with me)
Jordan debe Abu, Otunba Cashy (dance with me)
I know Biliki Rufai, Lanre Tikika (dance with me)
City boy, come and dance like a masquerade.
