Come and behold, the venerable kings of the Yoruba,
The lovers of their people, whose lives are exemplary,
The noble dignitaries, whose leadership shines brightly,
All who have guided their communities with wisdom and justice.
Kings adorned with honor, akin to the gods,
Those who command respect and bring joy to their people,
Their reigns are marked by power and dignity,
They dispense justice fairly, bringing peace to families.
Traditions and customs are upheld by these rulers,
Warriors who command and safeguard the land,
Those who lead and unify the people,
In every season, they maintain distinct order.
Noble chiefs, elevated to high positions,
Servants of the people, upholding tradition and righteousness,
They enact laws, promoting respect and honor,
Dignitaries who work to better their communities.
Kings and chiefs, your reigns are mighty,
You, the king who is understood by all, have firmly established your throne,
Leaders who stand tall across the land of Yoruba,
To whom all people pay homage, respecting your legacy.
All the honor and legacy of those who have passed,
Who have steered their communities forward,
Who have left a lasting legacy for the current rulers,
Who have dedicated themselves to leading with integrity.
Praise to you, Yoruba kings!
Those who elevate the community, fostering prosperity and justice,
Who lead with honor and respect for all,
Your words are like jewels, your reigns are exalted.
