"We have may no money
We may have no food
But we know our pride.
You can go play with your money
Enjoy it with other people
We couldn't care less!"
Lyrics:
Tia awa ori o n'dje
Ti awa oni owo
Awa nikan la mon n'kpe
Awa onitoro o n'dje owo
N'tori awa ni ife e
Foun ara wa ogbo
Lo tchire keplou owo re
Tchire kpelou awon elomi
Wa gbe owo re o
Fiwa sile tchogbo
Oluwa o bachiri
Foun waw ti a nin n'kankan
Ewa gbagbe wa die
Moun onan re man lo
Awa o fe gbo re kan o
Fiwa sile ninou ilaini wa
Translation:
Even though we don't have food
Even though we don't have money
We are the only ones praying
You are a real spit fire
Because we love you
Give yourself old age
Use your handkerchief
Use it to call others
Come and raise your hand
Leave it at that
The Lord is pure
There is nothing wrong with that
We may forget about beauty
I use your onan
We don't want to hear from you
