Angelique Kidjo – Iwoya lyrics
You don't have to be old to be wise
The bird doesn't wait till he dies to fly
And emptiness is not for me
Fill me up and spill over me
Fitila иda tйmin o
Lodan ninou ayй, kpиlou oyaya
Mofи dada foun иda min o
Monfи ki ayй tйmin koda
See your soul, open your eyes
From inside your soul comes shining
Mon ri ayй min ninou ifи
Ifи foun иda min, kpиlou ayo
You don't have to be old to be wise
Don't you hear the baby crying
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Goun nounkoun kou ikou lйmй
Kpala n'la la
Afatcha idarugbo
Kpala n'la la
You don't have to be old to be wise
The bird doesn't wait till he dies to fly
And emptiness is not for me
Fill me up and spill over me
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Olorirй nin иda, olorirй ni иda mio
Emin o lйrin hoho wa lй
Orirй ni ti agba do, olorirй nin иda mio
Olorirй ni иda, emin o lйrin hoho wa lй
Olorirй ni иda mio
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
The bird doesn't wait till he dies to fly
And emptiness is not for me
Fill me up and spill over me
Fitila иda tйmin o
Lodan ninou ayй, kpиlou oyaya
Mofи dada foun иda min o
Monfи ki ayй tйmin koda
See your soul, open your eyes
From inside your soul comes shining
Mon ri ayй min ninou ifи
Ifи foun иda min, kpиlou ayo
You don't have to be old to be wise
Don't you hear the baby crying
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Goun nounkoun kou ikou lйmй
Kpala n'la la
Afatcha idarugbo
Kpala n'la la
You don't have to be old to be wise
The bird doesn't wait till he dies to fly
And emptiness is not for me
Fill me up and spill over me
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Olorirй nin иda, olorirй ni иda mio
Emin o lйrin hoho wa lй
Orirй ni ti agba do, olorirй nin иda mio
Olorirй ni иda, emin o lйrin hoho wa lй
Olorirй ni иda mio
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
