You don't have to be old to be wise
A bird doesn't wait 'til it dies to fly
Emptiness is not for me
Fill me up and spill over me

Titila ela temi yo
Lon dan ninou ayé pelou oyaya
Mon fé dada foun éda mio
Fon fé ki ayé temin koda

See your soul
Open your eyes
From inside
Your soul comes shining

Mon ria émi ninou i fè
I fè foua nami pelou ayo

You don't have to be old to be wise
Don't you hear the baby crying?

Iwoya
Iwoya
Iwoya

Iwoya
Iwoya
Iwoya

Goun nounkoun kou ikou lémé
Kpala n'la la
Afatcha idarugbo
Kpala n'la la

You don't have to be old to be wise
A bird doesn't wait 'til it dies to fly
And emptiness is not for me

Fill me up
Fill me up
Spill over me

Iwoya
Iwoya
Iwoya

Iwoya
Iwoya
Iwoya

Oloriré nin èda
Oloriré ni èda mio
Emin o lérin hoho wa lé
Oriré ni ti agba do

Oloriré nin èda mio
Oloriré ni èda
Emin o lérin hoho wa lé
Oloriré ni èda mio

Iwoya
Iwoya
Iwoya
