ORIKI ORI

Ori Onise Apere Atete gbeni ju Orisa 

Ori atete niran 

Ori lokun 

Ori nide 

Ko si Orisa ti dani gbe leyin Ori eni 

Ori ni seni ta a fi dade owo 

Ori ni seni ta a fi tepa ileke woja 

Ori ni seni ta a fi lo mosaaji aso oba 

Ori gbe mi 

Ori la mi 

Ori ma pada leyin mi 

Translation 

Ori, the competent Creator Apere

He who is faster in aiding one than the Orisa

He who instantly remembers his devotee

Ori is valuable

Ori is jewelry

No Orisa can favour one without the consent of one’s Ori

It is Ori that aids one for one to be crowned of money

It is Ori that bless one for one to be using beaded walking stick even to the market

It is Ori that bless one for one to be using valuable cloths

Ori, please, support me

Ori, please, bless me

Ori, please, never turn against me.
