You live in tranquility,
In lush vegetation.
You dwell on this beautiful land,
Flat landscape,
This edge of Ikeduruland.
Streams circle your homestead,
Friendly weather
And fertile farmlands
Minister to your needs
In this abode of rest
For you
And your offspring.
Driven from homeland
Mba ise
In time past,
In search of succour
You traveled through Ikeduruland,
Umudim,
Amaimo.
Now on this land
Avuvu,
Chukwu comforts you
With worthy offspring,
Good harvests.
Peace massages you
And neighbours marvel
At your fortune.
