This is one serious flaw with my Yoruba peeps. None of them is ready to even help translate one line of this song. They are just speaking it on and insulting anyone that begs them to help translate it. Just an observation. This is not the first time I am noticing it. Most Yorubas does the same thing when they speak their language in front of someone from another tribe. Dem don forget say no be everybody sabi speak Yoruba. Insulting someone for not knowing how to speak your language is a sign of pure illiteracy and St'pi'dity. If you are proud of your language, be proud to translate it to people, it will help them to learn.
