Ategbe ( Iwure Ifa ) Awon kan ko ra won jo Won ni awon fe ba oke sota Oke oje Oke omu Oke

ni ori eyin enin tin rin

Some converged With the notion of conspiring against the mountain Mountain did not eat Mountain did not drink Mountain will win its assailants

Aire patiko lan gbo ohun eja lomi Ifa ya fa lan mo ibi ejo gbegba

The mellowing sound of fishes is heard gently under water A snakes track is known by its track

Ile ti mo te yi Ategbe! Iba ate bi owo Iba atete ese Iba atelese to tele tiko hu run

Iba ona se woroko wofe Awon kan ko ra won jo Won ni awon fe ba oke sota Oke oje Oke omu Oke ni ori eyin enin tin rin

The ground I stand is a solid one I stand unshakable Hail the palm Hail sole of the feet Hail the sole that walks the ground without bringing furs Hail the road that leads to the ancestral city of Ile-ife

We move through the Mountain

We sail the River We gait the Jungle On the Mountain the animals could not hold us down cos our hands are joined In the River the whale could not drag our feet cos they are interlocked Through the Jungle,games could not charge at us cos we have leaves in our mouths

And now we shall walk through the fire with our skins unscaled We shall not only hold hands nor interlock feet We shall hold minds FOREVER! We stand unshakable
