Shango, I beseech you, grant me a good life
I want what is in your hand
I want a good thing from you
Grant me my own gift today…

Shango, Obatilemi Shango oba o so
Shango, Obatilemi Kabiosile

Orisha of fire, passion and thunder
Orisha of lightning, dance and power
All things Alpha, dispenser
Defeating my enemies, power to win war
Victory over difficulties, power over other
Once a Yoruban King, none other
Hurl bolts of lightning imprint of stone Iyah
Can be seen after the heavy rain and flood
Great deal of power love
Justice is needed so the court it needs a touch
When courage is needed when the lion haffi up
Do not fight me, give me a child of my own
Yeah, That I can call my own…

Shango, Obatilemi Shango oba o so

The man who tells lies will die inna his home
He strike dem down the stupidness the one who has no throne
He wrinkles up his nose and the liar run off
Even when he does not fight, we used to fear him tuff
Son of a leopard, man who died just woke up
He is the one, Shango waking up
Took his neighbour’s roof to cover his headtop
Lent out money never want it ripped it up
The king who knows today and tomorrow
Never fade
The one who turns a bad day into good days
I beg you, give me more children along the way…

Shango, Obatilemi Shango oba o so
Shango, Obatilemi Kabiosile

Anybody who waits for the elephant waits for death
Anybody who waits for the buffalo waits for a fight
Anybody who waits for the railway waits for trouble
We must avoid the thing that will kill us
