Aya mi

Iwo lo ye ki a maa pe ni Akorede

Meaning

 

Adunni my wife 

My wife who wakes up every morning in beauty

A good wife in my home like salt in soup

My wife

You should be called "Akorede" (Bring in Joy)

Because you have brought joy into me; Akanni's home

Rats move around like rats

Birds sing like birds
