Translation
Otura went to Ira but never got to Ira
Akoki went on a journey but never return
Honesty of thought
Is more satisfying
And is higher than lying
Ifa’s message for Orunmila
When going to the town of liars
Where they keep things in their palms
But show each other the back of their palm
Their life is in total chaos
Orunmila left there
Orunmila went to the town of the oath breakers
As they secretely break the oath
So does their conscience continue to torment them
But they are very many in number
Orunmila left them
He went to the town of the truthful
He meant them they were not up to 20 in number
They are not up to 30
But their life are peaceful and organized
Orunmila opened his mouth to sing
He says here is the truth
The water of Ife land
Those who drink out of it are not many
