It would have been nice if u had translated it, for those of us who don't understand yoruba. I love Asa regardless.

Eye adaba eye adaba
The dove, the dove

Eye adaba ti fo lokeloke
The dove that flies high in the sky

Morning has broken, it is well with me

Ojumo ti mo ojumo ti momini ile yi o

So say so I can hear

Eye adaba eye eee
The dove

Eye adaba ti fo lokeloke loke ode orun
The dove that flies high near heaven

Wa ba le mi o o...Ojumo ti mo mo ri re o
Come land on me, morning has broken and it is well with me (my soul)
