BI (IF) - translated

BI

Bi aye ba ye mi, n ba ti ye woye

Bi eda ba mo ojo ti yi o la,

eda o bati ye foni sare ola nitori ola

Bi eda ba mo ojo iku

ti o mo ojo ti o ku

eda o ba sise siseku

Bi eda ba mo ode aremabo

eda o bama ku boro

tori lojo ina eda o ni rina

nitoripe eda ti riran

Bi aye ba ye mi, n ba ti ye woye

Bi igba ba gbami, n ba ti ye sa gbami gbami

Bi mo ba maye, n ba ti ye waye

Bi eda ba mo ona ko ma ni sonu

Eledumare wa petemi ni ire

Bi mo ba sare tabi mo rin gbere

ki ona mi sati jasire

IF

If I understood life, i'd have stopped contemplating

If man knew when he'll make it

he'd have desisted from running for wealthy future

If man knew when he'll die

and how many days he has left

he'd have been striving not to vanish completely

If man knew his journey of no return

he'd not die in time (live longer)

because on the day of woe, he won't walk

because he had seen

If I understood life, i'd have stopped stopped contemplating

If time saved me, I'd have stopped running helter skelter

If I knew life, I'd have stopped the quest

If man knew the way, he won't get lost

God, pronoune me successful

Whether I run or walk slowly

my path should just lead to success
