Angelique Kidjo - Iwoya lyrics

rate me

You don't have to be old to be wise

The bird doesn't wait till he dies to fly

And emptiness is not for me

Fill me up and spill over me

Fitila èda témin o

Lodan ninou ayé, kpèlou oyaya

Mofè dada foun èda min o

Monfè ki ayé témin koda

See your soul, open your eyes

From inside your soul comes shining

Mon ri ayé min ninou ifè

Ifè foun èda min, kpèlou ayo

You don't have to be old to be wise

Don't you hear the baby crying

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Goun nounkoun kou ikou lémé

Kpala n'la la

Afatcha idarugbo

Kpala n'la la

You don't have to be old to be wise

The bird doesn't wait till he dies to fly

And emptiness is not for me

Fill me up and spill over me

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oloriré nin èda, oloriré ni èda mio

Emin o lérin hoho wa lé

Oriré ni ti agba do, oloriré nin èda mio

Oloriré ni èda, emin o lérin hoho wa lé

Oloriré ni èda mio

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
