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
