Each day I wake this poem keeps me going; It is the only way out of poverty.

Ise Logun ise

* Ise Logun ise
[Work is the antidote for poverty]

* Mura si se re, ore mi
[Work hard and work smart, my friend]

* Ise la fi ndeni giga
[Hard and smart work brings success]

* Bi a ko ba reni fehin ti
[When there is no one to rely on]

* Bi ole la ri
[Its like we are lazy]

*Bi a ko ba reni gbekele
[When there is no one to trust]

* A te ra mo se ni
[We focus more on our work]

* Iya re le lowo lowoh
[Your mother might be rich]

*Baba re le lesin lekan
[Your father might own a thousand and one horses]

*Ti o ba gbojule won
[If you rely on them]

*O te tan ni mo so fun o
[In truth, you might be on sinking ground]

*Apa lara igupa ni ye kan
[ Your arms are your immediate family members, while your elbows are your extended family members]

B'aiye ba fe o loni
[If you are loved by the world today]

Ti o ba lowo lowo, won a tun fe o lola
[If you are still rich, they will love you tomorrow as well]

Abi ko wa nipo atata
[If you have an esteemed position]

Aiye a ye o si terin terin
[You will be honored with "fake"laughter]

Je ki o deni ti ra ngo
[If you unfortunately loose your money or position]


* Ko ri bi won ti nyin mu si o
[They'll turn their back on you]

*Iya mbe fomo ti ko gbon
[There is suffering for the foolish child]

*Ekun mbe fomo ti nsare kiri
[and there is sorrow for the child that have no plan or vision]

*Mafowuro sere ore mi
[Don't waste your formative years, my friend]

*Mura sise ojo nlo.
[work hard and plan well now, because time waits for no one]
