Lyrics
[Verse 1]
L'ọjọ ọjọsi ọmọde i gb'oju s'oke w'agba o
T'agba ba n ro'jo, ọmọde wọn a pa looloo ni o
L'ọjọ ọjọsi, awọn agba i wu'wa ibajẹ o
Ti wọn ba se 'baje, a o s'igba fun wọn ni o
[Chorus]
Je a ma ba wọn so, ki wọn ma se wu'wa ibajẹ mo o
Ẹ jẹ a ma ba wọn sọ, ki wọn ma se wu'wa ika yi o
Ẹ jẹ a ma ba wọn sọ, ki wọn ma se wu'wa ibajẹ mo o
Ẹ jẹ a ma ba wọn sọ, ki wọn ma se wu'wa ika (One more time)
Ẹ jẹ a ma ba wọn sọ, ki wọn ma se wu'wa ibajẹ mo o
Ẹ jẹ a ma ba wọn sọ, ki wọn ma se wu'wa ika yi o
Ẹ jẹ a ma ba wọn sọ, ki wọn ma se wu'wa ibajẹ mo o
Ẹ jẹ a ma ba wọn sọ, ki wọn ma se wu'wa ika
[Verse 2]
I see them everywhere on the street wasting their lives away
Youth can't find no direction to put their energy
I see them in Europe and America looking for hope
Everywhere they go they are lonely, can't find a warm bed
Do you like to see the children cry and waste their lives away, my brother?
You like to see them die before their time in poverty?
Seems you like to see the people cry in frustration and desperation
You like to see them flee and leave this land so full of promise
[Verse 3]
I see them everywhere in factories and plantations
A new wave of slavery and servitude in foreign lands
I see them in Asia, Australia, wherever you may think
Everywhere they go they are lonely, there is no place like home
You like to see the children cry and waste their lives away, my brother?
You like to see them die before their time in poverty
Seems you like to see the people cry in frustration and desperation
You like to see them flee and leave this land so full of promise
[Verse 4]
You like to see the children (Crying)
You like to see the children (Worry)
Do you like to see the children running (Running away)?
Do you like to see them die, brother?
You like to see the children (Crying)
Do you like to see the children (Worry)?
Do you like to see the children running (Running away)?
You like to see them die
[Verse 5]
L'ọjọ ọjọsi ọmọde i gb'oju s'oke w'agba o
T'agba ba n ro'jo, ọmọde wọn a pa looloo ni o
L'ọjọ ọjọsi, awọn agba i wu'wa ibajẹ o
Ti wọn ba se 'baje, a o s'igba fun wọn ni, ore e je a ma so
[Chorus]
Je a ma ba wọn so, ki wọn ma se wu'wa ibajẹ mo o
Ẹ jẹ a ma ba wọn sọ (E ma ba wọn so), ki wọn ma se wu'wa ika yi o
Ẹ jẹ a ma ba wọn sọ (E ma ba wọn so), ki wọn ma se wu'wa ibajẹ mo o
Ẹ jẹ a ma ba wọn sọ, ki wọn ma se wu'wa ika (Let's go again)

Ẹ jẹ a ma ba wọn sọ, ki wọn ma se wu'wa ibajẹ mo o
Ẹ jẹ a ma ba wọn sọ, ki wọn ma se wu'wa ika (Let us go again)
Je a ma ba wọn so, ki wọn ma se wu'wa ibajẹ mo o
Ẹ jẹ a ma ba wọn sọ, ki wọn ma se wu'wa ika yi o
E ma ba wọn so, ki wọn ma se wu'wa ibajẹ mo o
